Doun Doun Experience is a musical team-building activity that combines the rhythm of African percussion with movement to create a unifying experience.
With drumsticks in hand, each participant discovers the doun doun, a West African bass drum, and learns to play, move, and synchronize with others. Guided by the djembe and our facilitators, the group brings a collective musical creation to life in an energizing and friendly atmosphere.
Each participant begins by discovering their instrument and their own rhythm. Gradually, the sounds, gestures, and energy come together.
Absolute Unison is that moment when individual contributions align to create a single collective movement. Everyone keeps their place, but all participate in an experience that could not exist without the group's contribution.
No sheet music or musical experience is required.
Doun Doun Experience is available in Montreal, Quebec City and surrounding areas, Ottawa-Gatineau, and throughout Quebec.

The goal is to bring participants together through a musical experience where rhythm and movement become natural ways to build connections.
Doun Doun Experience helps to:
Doun Doun Experience is perfect for team-building days, conferences, annual meetings, recognition events, and new employee onboarding.
It is particularly well-suited for organizations looking to reconnect colleagues, bring different departments together, or provide an energizing experience that breaks the routine.
Imagine an organization that brings together 25 colleagues from different departments. Some people collaborate regularly, while others are still getting to know each other.
Each participant takes their place in front of their doun doun. The initial rhythms are simple, then the movements and sequences evolve. Colleagues observe and listen to one another, offering encouragement and adjusting their rhythm to the group.
A few moments later, the different parts come together. The 25 participants play and move in unison, carried by a shared energy. They leave with the pride of having created a musical moment that is uniquely theirs.

Yes, this is one of our most frequent use cases. The synchronized format levels the playing field: a new employee has the exact same experience as a colleague who has been there for 10 years, which quickly fosters connections and a sense of belonging within the first few weeks.
Absolutely. This activity is particularly well-suited for integration into a broader corporate program. It can serve as an energizing opening, a team-building moment between two strategic sessions, or a memorable closing to your event. Our facilitators adapt to your schedule and ensure a smooth transition with the rest of your program.
No prior experience is necessary. This activity is designed to be accessible to everyone, regardless of their comfort level with art, music, or creativity. Our facilitators guide participants step-by-step in a supportive and exploratory atmosphere.
We have all the necessary equipment for the activity itself. However, if we need visual support, you will need to be able to provide it. Additionally, we have a sound system, but we prefer to use the one on-site when possible.
Good news: our activities can generally be held both indoors and outdoors. In case of bad weather, simply arrange for an indoor space that is large enough and suitable for the number of participants. Our team will assist you with planning to help you choose the best possible option and ensure your event runs smoothly.
