I went to Portland and attended a 4 day Famoudou Konate workshop this past weekend. It was, by far, the most significant West African drumming event I have ever experienced. I strongly recommend taking it if you can. There are only two workshops still to happen on this continent this year and both within the next week and a half. We learned four rhythms, one each day. He explained much of the history, culture and societal issues.
