… also all band / ensemble information regarding Alpha Oulare and Sugé and the announcement of weekly Musical Lessons at the Leipzig Ludwig-Hupfeld-Center, complex C (two-hour fee 20 (twenty/zwanzig) Euros €), if not other appointment Saturday, from 2 p.m. until past 4 p.m. remain valid, hereby confirmed and the same. A warm welcome and many thanks to all new students of 2026!

As this blog alphaoulare.art.blog is currently about to become revised, it is suggested to seek for new information at Alpha’s official Google Inc. YouTube channel (click below).

( One reference to find there, at Google Inc. YouTube, was an excerpt of Djembéfola Alpha Oulare’s public performance at the 7th International Inter- and Sociocultural Africa Festival Leipzig, then still under the project name Festival of the 1000 Drums — more than drumming! and in the month of November, 2025: )

An updated list of Africa Festivals and African Cultural Days in the Federal Republic of Germany for year 2026 can be found left or here — please allowed this little redundancy! Hate criminals, hackers, intended abusers and neo-colonial usurpators stay far from these projects and all staff! Warning, criminals/perpetrators are investigated, fully traced in their activities.

Apparently this video clip with graphical animation has reached meanwhile more than two thousand calls/views:

From about one year ago, finally, these two Google Inc. Notebook L.M. Deepdive audio features having been generated automatically on the yet existing Internet sources about Alpha Oulare (you might listen below):

Further, more informative notifications shall follow during the next weeks, please be patient as readers and musical friends! Be well, meanwhile!

You may find more musical inspiration by help of the public Musical Playlists at Alpha Oulare’s Google Inc. YouTube channel, mostly West-African musical artists from Guinea and other states, they might have been new to you, if younger of ages, we suppose…
