What is a Calabash? What does it have to do with Rhythm ?
What is a Calabash? What does it have to do with Rhythm ?
The Callebasse:
Used throughout the world, the "gourd" is a climbing plant whose hollow fruit gives the calabash once hollowed out and dried. Its shell is so hard that it can be used in many exceptional ways.
For music, it is used in instruments such as the kora or the Ngoni (African Harp).
In 2012 I met the calabash and I have a crush, putting it on the ground on a blanket, I discover a sound, a feeling, I just met the "infra-bass".
Then I had the idea to use plastic eggs to reproduce the sound of the hi-hat and the snare drum. I just created a kind of "organic portable drum set" with a natural electronic sound
that I bring everywhere in my daily life as a musician (in the street, in the evening but also in concert on, and even up to the
TV show The Voice 2021 on tf1).
The David Lesage Signature Calabash:
Between 45cm and 53 cm in diameter for the biggest with a thick edge (1.5cm / 2cm thick) are the biggest calabash in the world and the rarest to find especially in Europe.
Selected according to my specific criteria for the practice of rhythm, they are the strongest in the world (I have been hitting the rhythm with mine for 10 years). They come from West Africa (Niger, Burkina Faso, Mali).
Each calabash is reworked by hand to be square by "Kamou" of Djoliba percussion who refines the edge so that the calabashes fit the special carpet that makes a unique and powerful sound.
Each calabash is laser etched with the Now Groove logo which symbolizes the 4 elements in motion forming the 5th "ether".

To understand rhythm is to be able to "situate myself in space/time".

What we will practice together:
An integrative pedagogical approach through the body, and philosophical through the spirit of rhythm
Introduction of rhythm guided by cardiac coherence through breathing
Question and answer games with David
Synchronization of the limbs (feet/hands/voice)
Singing together
Tapping together and in rhythm
Playing on the music with intensity
Being accompanied by David in music
The benefits of practicing rhythm in my workshops:
To feel joy without reason
Develop a quality of presence and listening
Favors the synchronization of the left and right hemispheres of the brain
Develops the independence of the limbs
support the surpassing of oneself
Dare to sing in a group without realizing it
Gain in clarity
Better understand the music and the placement
To better situate oneself in space and time
To enter into states of trance
Stop thinking, be deeply and intensely present
In short.... we will enjoy and groove together!

Who am I?
Who am I?
Singer and multi-instrumentalist musician, I am a drummer percussionist since the age of 4 years.
I love and explore rhythm in many ways, essentially self-taught and experimental at a young age.
I followed the college course of Jazz in Marciac.
Then I obtained a conservatory prize for drums in Toulouse in 2012.
I continued my journey as a musician around the world. I am now a singer and multi-instrumentalist, including handpan player who connects the melody and rhythm.

"Djoliba" in Toulouse
Since the age of 4 I have been passionate about rhythm and many musical instruments.
When I met Christophe from Djoliba Percussions at the Jazz in Marciac festival, we quickly established a bond of trust and he followed my path as a poly-instrumentalist musician.
Today I am happy and proud to join Djoliba Percussion with Christophe, Remi, Kamou, Nico and Yu to offer you the best.
I will also have the joy to animate some workshops in the "Djoliba Music Lab", (a room dedicated to the transmission within the store.)
