SUMMARY:West African Singing Workshop with Batch Gueye
DESCRIPTION:In this workshop\, artist\, singer and dancer Batch Gueye leads you through traditional griot songs from West Africa. Drawing from the musical heritage of Senegal\, Casamance\, The Gambia and Mali\, you’ll explore the spiritual chants of the Senegalese Baye Fall people and learn songs associated with their leader. \nSinging becomes a form of prayer\, teaching kindness\, presence and understanding. Open to everyone\, the workshop invites you to harmonise\, explore your voice and tune into what you carry within. \nBaye Fall is a Senegalese Mouride collective. Their role is to encourage and unite people\, listen with compassion\, work with devotion and remain humble. They often hold chanting ceremonies and feed their community. \nPlease note: participants are asked to wear modest clothing covering shoulders and legs. Please bring a scarf or something to cover your hair\, as is traditional for these ceremonies. \nVenue: The Harbour Totterdown\, BS4 2EG \nAge: 18+ \n\nABOUT BATCH \nBatch Gueye sings the traditional music of the Senegalese Baye Fall\, bringing the heart of West Africa to life through his soulful voice. In 2012 his song M’Beugel won the World Music Network’s Battle of the Bands with a landslide public vote. \nSince then\, Batch has released five albums\, each drawing on the stories\, rhythms and heritage passed down through generations. His work spans traditional Griot and Mandinka music\, Wolof storytelling\, afrobeat and afrodance\, and rich collaborations blending West African\, flamenco\, AfroCuban and Latin sounds. \n@batch_gueyeofficial
