Chris Diallo is a musician, a body worker and a grandmother of two. She is half of ‘Hands On Skin’ , the other half being her partner Wurrie. Together and separately they teach African music and dance using a range of instruments from the ever popular djembe drums to the less well known gongoma and bolon. Chris believes that many possibilities open up through rhythms, songs and the general joyfulness of African music and that playing/singing/dancing together can be a powerful tool for change.
This is echoed by her work with the body, massage as well as music can create a space for transformation and lead to a deeper sense of community. Chris teaches Indian Head massage to all kinds of groups, from refugees to children, as well as having been a practising massage therapist for over 10 years now. Working with the body as well as the spirit is important in every aspect of the work she does.
All aspects of chris’s work are Inspired and informed by African musical traditions and Western bodywork systems. Percussion, voice, movement and dance can unite people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds, often with surprising results.
