I’m Arie Ouzana — a musician, percussionist, and long-time teacher of African and Afro-Cuban percussion. I studied music in Africa and Cuba, and for many years I have been teaching djembe, congas, rhythm workshops, ensembles, and private lessons.

My teaching is clear, step-by-step, and built for real beginners. I believe everyone can learn to drum with patience, breath, joy, and the right guidance.

Through my courses, I’m happy to share rhythm, groove, and musical feeling with students around the world.
