About this Event

Join The Third Place for a special Maine Speaks program in partnership with the Maine Humanities Council, featuring Master Drummer Namory Keita of Sangbarala, Guinea, West Africa.

Namory Keita is a sought-after teacher and performer whose artistry carries deep roots in the traditions of Guinea. His knowledge, rarely experienced outside of West African villages, is brought to life through powerful rhythm, storytelling, and audience engagement.

This interactive experience offers more than performance. It is an opportunity to:

  • Explore the cultural significance of West African drumming
  • Engage directly with rhythm, movement, and storytelling
  • Build connection and understanding across cultures

With a dynamic presence and global network of dancers and drummers, Keita creates an atmosphere that is both educational and deeply immersive.

Come ready to listen, learn, and participate.

Who should attend:
Anyone interested in culture, music, storytelling, and meaningful community connection.
