Ian Dogole - From San Francisco to the Sahara Desert at Throckmorton Theatre

Ian Dogole will perform on a dazzling array of indigenous percussion instruments, including the udu (Nigerian clay pot), cajon (Afro-Peruvian box drum), dumbek (pan-Arabic goblet drum), kalimba (East African thumb piano), talking drum (West African hourglass drum) and hang (Swiss steel pan-derived instrument)....
