Experienced tutor in Drum in Los Angeles, Ayo offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

Dear Ayo, August 11, 2020

In sacred circles from from the Passover Village in Joshua Tree to men’s groups since 1991 I have been blessed to contribute the sound of the mother spirit. THANKS TO YOU I have such a love for the drum and all the lessons it’s taught me. I’ve learned that if my hands hurt, I’m not doing it right! I’ve learned to use the drum to ground the energy as well as elevate the mood.

I learned that the sound and vibration of the mother comes through the drum and it is irresistible. You cannot close your ears to the drum because it is speaking to your whole body and even your whole body cannot stop it.

I learned that generosity and kindness are hallmarks of the masters and I have been honored and blessed to have learned these and more from you, my friend, my teacher, my Brother.

I wish you much peace and continued blessings on the occasion of your birthday!

I LOVE YOU!

I have been a student of Baba for 24 years. In addition to having been able to embrace the techniques of drumming, I have been led to understand learning rhythm as a way of life.

I am greatly honored to hold Baba as a teacher, friend and brother.

I loved my entire experience working with West African Cultural Foundation. Baba Ayo is one of the kindest humans you will ever meet; a respected and beloved elder, and a cultural treasure. He has vast experience and knowledge, and he happens to be a talented teacher as well. HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend!

I have been taking lessons from Ayo for years. Sharing a lesson with Ayo is magical. It's not like regular drum classes because you learn spiritual lessons from Africa while learning to play. Also totally fun and funky.

I have a had the pleasure and honor working with Baba Ayo for 24 years. During that time I have been immersed in the joy and wonder of dancing on the rhythmic Path. Blessings to you Baba
