  • February 2020, “Drummers of the World” conquered the main stage of the country. The rhythms of African and Caucasian drums sounded at the State Kremlin Palace at the University Anniversary.
  • February 5, 2021, the world is changing - sites for performances are changing too, but traditions remain! The battle of drums from around the world is now online. We are waiting for you!
