Souhail Kaspar has been invited to teach drum and rhythm & movement with the Ziva Emtiyaz at this year’s Mendocino Folklore Camp.  They would love to see for their  first-time appearance at this camp, where you can learn about beautiful music and dance from all over the world.  Part of the uniqueness of the Mendocino Folklore Camp is that you learn odd and even rhythms from different regions of the world.  This is Souhail Kaspar’s first time teaching after being at the Middle East camp for 21 years.  This will be a wonderful opportunity to meet new people and experience a different atmosphere.
