Music ~ Games ~ Crafts
Ibrahima (Ibou) N’gom facilitates community drumming and dancing with adults and students of all ages. He has worked with and performed for elementary though high school students, at-risk youth and university students. He is a SPECTRA Resident Artist. Ibou speaks English, Spanish, French and his native Wolof. His group Domu Africa is a favorite in Santa Cruz and the Bay Area. Together they bring the sights and sounds of Senegal alive through traditional music and dance performances. With his set of student sized instruments Ibou can turn any room into an African drum corp. His patient and friendly teaching style makes him a popular teacher.
I've been an artist all of my life. (I even remember coloring myself & the bathtub edges with fabulous soap-crayons as a little kid!)
Previously I was a book designer and art director in the publishing industry (I have a BFA degree in Graphic Design), and an art teacher, not to mention making some wild Halloween costumes for my family! Now that my own fantastic four children are grown, I am thrilled to still get to share delight with kids through face painting.
