About / Biography

Djembe Devon brings the infectious energy, connection and joy of traditional West African drumming to events across Devon, the South West and the UK.

Led by experienced drum circle facilitator Natasha "Tasha" Vigille, Djembe Devon specialises in high-energy, interactive workshops that get your guests playing together in harmony—no prior musical experience required.

Whether you are planning a lively celebration, a corporate away-day or a festival highlight, we turn your guests from passive spectators into the main event.

All instruments are supplied, including authentic Ghanaian djembe drums and small hand percussion, making it effortless to bring live, interactive music to any venue.

Interactive Workshop Packages
Every session is built around authentic West African rhythms, call-and-response drumming and infectious grooves tailored to the mood and pace of your event:

  • Private Parties, Weddings & Celebrations: A unique, high-energy icebreaker or daytime activity for birthdays, weddings, anniversaries and hen or stag dos. We start with simple, accessible beats and build into an uplifting full-group rhythm that gets all ages smiling and playing together.

  • Corporate Team-Building & Away-Days: Fun, inclusive drumming sessions designed to break down barriers, boost morale and strengthen communication and teamwork in a relaxed, memorable way.

  • Festivals, Fetes & Public Events: High-impact pop-up drumming circles that draw crowds in and give festival-goers a hands-on, feel-good musical experience.

  • Schools & Youth Events: Engaging, educational workshops tailored for primary and secondary schools, youth groups and holiday clubs, introducing young people to rhythm, coordination and group listening.

  • Wellbeing & Community Gatherings: Uplifting yet grounding rhythm sessions suited to retreats, wellness days, care homes and community groups, using group drumming to reduce stress and foster connection.

Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

Workshop Space
• Interactive Workshops: An open, unobstructed floor area large enough to arrange chairs in a circle for all participants (typically 1.5m² per person).
• Seating: Sturdy, armless chairs are required for all performers and workshop participants. We cannot play traditional djembe safely or comfortably on stools without backs, sofas or chairs with armrests.
• Weather Protection (Outdoor Events): Natural goatskin drumheads are highly sensitive to moisture and extreme heat. Outdoor bookings must have a waterproof gazebo, marquee or covered stage area to protect the instruments from rain and direct, intense sun.


What information do you require about a venue?

Access, Load-In & Parking
• Load-In Access: Ground-floor access or a working lift is essential as we transport multiple heavy wooden drums for workshops.
• Setup Time: Please allow 30 to 45 minutes prior to the start time for unloading, setting up the drum circle and sound checking.
• Parking: Reserved parking space as close to the venue entrance/load-in point as possible for 1 vehicle (van/large car) for the duration of the event.

We need to know any directions that will help us find the venue and find the right place to load in our equipment. We’d also need to be informed if there’s a sound limiter in the venue.


Can you provide a Spotify/DJ service before and between your sets?

Yes, we’re happy to play music from Spotify before, after and between our workshops. We’re happy to choose the music ourselves.
