Zawose family return for 2008!

 Update on FAMOUDO KONATE  2008

Due to the new U.K Visa system from April 2008. Famoudou is required to under go biometric testing.  The Agency cannot give any recommendations as to if and when they will be able to process the visa. It might mean that Famoudou is unable to come to African drum village for 2008. We have tried all we can, unfortunately U.K visas will not discuss the matter.  1/7/08 Still no word regarding Famoudous visa.

Quote from famoudou:  "In the 21 years I have been travelling the world teaching drumming, this festival is No3 in the world!"

                         Quote from Nansady Keita: "This is the No1 festival I like it BIG!"
