Music workshop started with introduction to rhytms and drumplaying. Groupleader is Aleksi Ojala and the participants are from four different countries. There are participants from Sweden, Finland, Uganda and Hungary.
First the group started to do some rhytms with their body. Youngsters had to think their own rhytms in small groups. After that they all clapped the rhytms together.
After the lunchbreak group started to play djembe-drums. The leader of the workshop showed some easy tones, bases and higher tones, and after that the group concentrated to make one music piece together.
They sang with drumming:
"You and I will play this jankadi on and on." *
"Hölkyn kölkyn."
"You can learn this from me."
"We will sing and play!"
* Jankadi is rhytm from Africa.
The group was very concentrated on working together as a team, and it seemed like everyone had fun during this first day.
"I really like rhytms and it is so exciting that all these rhytms and people are working together so well" , said one participant from the Northern countries.
Rest of the day music group worked together with drama group.
