Hiwot Mekdes Taye

I've played traditional drumming from 1983 to 1996, mostly in pubs, churches, weddings and anywhere else that would have me. These days I also teach.
I teach about 17 students a week. Some of them are better than me now, which is the whole point. I make terrible puns.
Hearing from old faces is the best part of my week.
More about Hiwot
