Bongo Congo Bash

This event has children playing hand drums, egg shakers and rhythm sticks as well as dancing and singing.  They will love the songs I’ve written—Bongo Congo, Creepy Crawlers, the Chicken Song, and the Spirit Song--as well as children’s favorites such as Move It, Hand Hand Fingers Thumb, We Will Rock You, School’s Out, I Want Candy and Wooly Bully.

​

How did all this crazy fun originate?

I’ve been a substitute teacher since 2019.  Despite my English teacher background, I found that I prefer teaching in elementary schools.  The first time I took a music assignment and walked into the music room, I was mesmerized.  Instruments everywhere:  hand drums, shakers, tambourins, cymbals, rhythm sticks, marimbas, glockenspiels…  “OMG,” I thought, “we could have a LOT of fun with all of this!”

​

So I began developing songs where kids could play along on the instruments—always playing along and singing; never sitting and watching!  The kids got so excited about these activities, that I decided I needed to take this outside of the classroom and make it available to all kids, everywhere.  I’ve acquired a sufficient amount of instruments to play private parties, festivals and other children’s events.  Please see “contact” at the bottom of the page to invite me to your next event.
