St Philip Neri School at Gateshead CLC

On Tuesday we worked with 120 Years 3/4/5/6 children from St Philip Neri Primary School and St Mary and St Thomas Aquinas School in Gateshead. We had a great time and we're pretty sure the children enjoyed themselves too! We had over 20 djembes with us so all of the children had a turn drumming - they learned some basic drum language and participated in songs, dancing, games and storytelling.

You can see more photos of this session by visiting our Gallery.

Warn You Pikin - Sabanoh International

CD: £10.00


"Warn You Pikin" which means "Advise Your Child" is an eight track compilation of Sabanoh's greatest hits and some new cuts.

This album is dedicated to our fans world-wide who have been sending letters and emails requesting this music and inspiring us. We saw it necessary to put together an album that will remind them of the "sweet Sierra Leone days". It also carries a message of caution, hope, prosperity and unity in Sierra Leone and Africa in general.
