Pastor Charles Koker:
As an African drummer, I have dedicated myself to mastering the intricate rhythms and vibrant beats that echo the rich cultural heritage of the African continent. My journey began in Sierra Leone West Africa, where I was immersed in the traditional drumming styles of my ancestors. Each beat of the drum tells a story, from the joyous celebrations to the soulful reflections of our history.

I specialise in various traditional African drumming techniques, including Djembe and Dunun bringing an authentic and powerful sound to every performance. My passion lies in not just playing the drums but also in sharing the cultural significance and historical roots of this art form. Through workshops, performances, and community events, I aim to connect people with the spirit and rhythm of Africa, fostering a deeper appreciation for this timeless art.

Whether on stage or in a classroom, my goal is to inspire and educate, creating a bridge between cultures through the universal language of drumming.
