Gusour Cultural Center Cairo

Oriental drum circle

Mohamed from Cairo

""Gusour Cultural Center" organizes drum circles in Cairo every Friday evening. Come here, make friends, discover your body's energy, share love..."

You’ve energy, you need to get it out -- what about playing an oriental drum? Perfect, right?

Want to learn a new way to celebrate? That’s what you need after a long Friday in Cairo. You’ll learn how to use it and maybe some tones to help you celebrate in an Egyptian way whenever you want, and let your friends shake it out. It’s crazy how the bass makes your body move. It's like you find new movements you didn't even know you could do.

It's every Friday from 7 to 9 pm. No reservations needed, just go there 30mins earlier, pay a ticket of 50LE and pick a drum, or if you have your own, it’s just 35LE. Inside you’ll find a circle of chairs and in the middle will be standing the instructor. Just do what he says and I’m sure you're gonna love what you hear.

Going alone or with friends - you're gonna make a lot of friends in there - you can see positivity glowing in the air, people smiling, having fun, learning music, and sharing love.

I love to make short movies and save lots of memories from all around the city, as what I saw today I’m not sure I’ll see some other day. I also love letting people see more of the world and how...
