Here are a few words from students who have worked with DJEMBESOLO.
Introduction
Thank you! This is perfect for me. I have been practicing djembe between 8 to 12 hours a week for the last 3 years. Making sure my time with my drum really counts is deeply important to me. All advices in this intro are crystal clear, and this, I truly appreciate. Onward with the ‘new’ with pride and patience.

Detailed and helpful
... I got such a good insight into how to phrase accordingly and the assignments are very helpful to get to that level. Learning how to sing Djembe rhythms properly also helps my rhythm understanding. Big up

The concepts are...
The concepts here are what every intermediate Djembe/Dundun player should understand and apply. The quality of the video and music samples is excellent, made with a great musical and aesthetic taste. Louis's instruction style is humorous and personal, I enjoyed it very much!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
What is DJEMBESOLO?
DJEMBESOLO is an online platform to learn djembe in a clear and structured way. It is made for students who want to understand what they play, build confidence, and enjoy the learning process.
-
Is DJEMBESOLO beginner-friendly?
Yes. DJEMBESOLO is suitable for beginners who want to build solid foundations and understand what they play from the start. Previous musical experience is an advantage, but it is not a prerequisite.
-
Is DJEMBESOLO suitable for advanced players?
Yes. DJEMBESOLO is designed for advanced players who want to expand their vocabulary, strengthen their technique, and develop practical tools for solo playing, with a clear path toward professional-level playing.
-
What is the difference between FOUNDATIONS, PATTERNS, and MEMBERSHIP?
FOUNDATIONS courses are standalone courses that focus on one specific aspect of djembe playing.
PATTERNS is an archive of solo patterns, organized by their function in the music.
The MEMBERSHIP brings everything together (FOUNDATION courses and PATTERNS) into a complete learning framework, connecting technique, vocabulary, and improvisation strategies.
-
Is the MEMBERSHIP an annual subscription?
Yes. The MEMBERSHIP is an annual subscription, billed once per year, with the option to pay monthly. Access is renewed each year as long as the subscription remains active.
-
Why is access limited to a fixed duration instead of lifetime?
Access durations are not meant to limit learning, but to emphasize progression, understanding, and assimilation of the material, rather than simply owning a course for life.
FOUNDATIONS courses are designed to be completed within a few months, which is why access is set to two years.
PATTERNS is a long-term archive meant to be revisited over time, with access set to three years.
If a student has a legitimate reason that prevented them from completing a course within the access period, additional access can be granted upon request.
“I attest to the competence of Louis Cesar Ewande to teach the djembe. He is someone I can count on to transmit this music with respect for African culture."
