The Chicago Arabic Music Ensemble

The Chicago Arabic Music Ensemble, Middle Eastern Dance groups, and Raices Gitanas Flamenco Ensemble are taking bookings for fall and winter 2023-24.
We are also available to do Zoom and other live-stream presentations for colleges, libraries, and other cultural venues on Marimba, Vibraphone, Latin Percussion, and Arabic drumming. These presentations include preparatory materials, Keynote graphics, live performance, short video examples, and followup resources.
I also teach drumset, marimba, vibraphone, orchestral percussion, congas, batá, Arabic drumming, and bodhrán, both over Zoom and in my socially-spaced, well-ventilated Oak Park studio. I have good written teaching materials as well as instructional videos and play-along audios posted on this site. Feel free to explore the Audio/Video page and use the resources there to practice congas and batá drums.
If you are interested in taking lessons or booking a Zoom presentation please contact me by email at dskoog@mac.com.
We also publish marimba works, as well as drumset and Latin percussion method books that are available through Steve Weiss Music.
So feel free to browse!
