Shepparton’s Busy Bees was a hive of entertainment on Friday, August 9.

The energy was buzzing at the childcare centre as African Drumming teacher Kofi Nortey arrived with a medley of drums to lead the budding percussionists in an African drumming incursion.

Hands at the ready, the Busy Bees explored traditional African rhythms by striking their own drums and following along to create pulsing beats.

News photographer Megan Fisher captured the little drummer boys and girls in action.
