Master drummer Amadou Kienou is visiting four Conseil scolaire catholique du Nouvel-Ontario (CSCNO) schools this week.
That includes École St-Paul and École catholique Félix-Ricard Wednesday and École St-Denis and École St-Dominique Friday.
Born in Burkina Faso, this internationally-renowned artist will show his skills with the djembe drum and the tama are the percussion instruments to be featured. Kienou is the son of a famous family of griots, the keepers of the oral tradition in Western Africa.
In 2011, Kienou was presented the best Burkinabe artist award at the Burkina Faso International Cinema Festival.
