‘Go to a community, give them a budget, bring some music, play with local people. That way, you connect with local audiences. It demonstrates the secret power of percussion to connect with different audiences’
Percussionist DOMNIQ takes audiences on a journey inspired by his own musical travels through Morocco and Senegal, bringing together colleagues and percussion instruments from around the world to celebrate a diversity of cultures, as well as the commonality of rhythm that underpins them all.
A key element of the World of Rhythm project is DOMNIQ's work with communities local to the venues where he appears. Ahead of his Concertgebouw visit, he organised two free concerts in community centres in Amsterdam, performing his own music and joining local musicians.
