Hay Michael, how do you do
. My name is Brian Lynch from Dublin in ireland. I just came back from a four month trip to West Africa, my first, in April. Since that point i have bin putting my money away for another trip in the new year, back to Conakry. i was studying in four differnt contrys Senagal, Mali and Guinea but Guinea Conakry grabed my firmily. I would just like to ask you if it is possible that you could put me intouch with some teachers like M’Bemba Bangoura in Conakry. While in Conakry I had a great teacher from the Hamana reigon who is now living there. i would like to try differnt styles, his style is very traditional to Hamana which i love but i feel i need to explore. If you can help me in anyway i would be very grateful, i would just like to be confadent that i will be getting the best from my next trip because i spent alot of time looking around the first time round and some teachers i felt were teaching me the wrong way, well i know because i had a teacher in Sengal teach me Dununbe with the kenkeni on the time, which is just not rite.. Anyway, hoping to hear from you soon. cheers.
