About
This year Sensational Elora will be featuring an African Drum Circle where attendees can participate; Musician and Multi-Instrumentalist Babarinde Williams (fondly known as “Baba”) is an award-winning motivational speaker, singer, recording artist, producer, ethnomusicologist, music educator, music director and writer who has been featured on Tedtalks and other professional and academic forums. Baba has not only led large drumming events at various institutions but also led multi-generational family groups in back yards and living rooms. Years of after-school drumming programs in the Dufferin-Eglington areas and numerous assemblies and workshop events in schools, churches, libraries, and other institutions contribute to Babarinde’s experience as a facilitator. Don't miss this special event under the big tent, rain or shine.
