I met this French couple on the west coast of Morocco. Their van is full of musical instruments! Dominique is really into music of West Africa. He teaches music and even though we couldn’t speak the same language, I learnt loads from him.

This was whilst camping in Sidi Kaouki – see this post: Sidi Kaouki beach – where I’ve been for the past 3 weeks

So here’s a video of us mainly playing drums and balafon (and me learning):

    Rightly they say that you learn the most when you roam around the world on your own terms. Good drum beats. I was hooked.

    You go VanDog, you go! It’s about quality of life and not about consumerism!

      I listen to a lot of music but I’d never heard these rhythms ever before. They still go around in my head. Really good
