Association Rythmétisse

From down the street you can already see the beautiful handmade wooden characters on the storefront of the Association Rythmétisse. This is the place in Bordeaux for West African Instruments. The Association Rythmétisse sells, repairs and also sometimes builds traditional West African instruments of all sorts from djembés to balafons and dum dums. In addition to the large choice of instruments, the association also offers African dance classes and drum classes, as well as several workshops in different African countries. The Association is the right place if you want to become familiar with African music and culture.
