I just want to express how much I enjoyed the sacred experience of the African drum and dance camp at Camp Iona, Oamaru which I attended for 1 of the 2 days. Mohamed’s true spirit shined through the skills he shared with his amazing drumming and dance tuition.
I especially enjoyed the warm sense of community and talented parts of ourselves openly shared around the fireside. We all become ‘one’. Mohamed gaves us all a truly magical gift when he played and sang with the Kora (african harp). My soul has been touched forever.
