Participants will immerse themselves in the vibrant rhythms and melodies of this ancient musical tradition, learning essential playing techniques, phrasing, and exploring creativity through the Timbila. In addition to honing their Timbila skills, participants will engage in the rhythmic traditions of Mozambique through singing, dancing, and the exploration of various percussion instruments.

Mannerheimintie renovation project
Access to the Musiikkitalo from the direction of Mannerheimintie will be difficult. We recommend that you allow enough time for your arrival and use the entrance on the side of Kansalaistori if possible. According to current information, the entrance to Mannerheimintie will also remain in use throughout the renovation, but pedestrian routes can be challenging at times.
