DEMBIS THIOUNG presents  PENCHMI African Drum + Dance Portal - NEW MOON AUTUMN Series  in collaboration with FOLKLORE CHARITY. The word PENCHMI (in Wolof is written as “Penccmi”) is used to describe the gathering of ancestors, transcending time and space, as well as the gathering of the elders of the traditional Senegalese villages, in the center of the community under a baobab tree. Penchmi is the space to discuss matters of LIFE, FREEDOM, and PEACE. Most importantly, it serves to remind us of the LOVE and RESPECT shared among each other. This autumn. we invite you all to three PENCHMI drum + dance portals in Folklore Hoxton in 186 Hackney Road, London. Come prepared to drum, dance, and joyfully sweat, allowing your spirit to soar high by connecting through ancestral rhythms, songs, and African wisdom channelled by Dembis Thioung. Dembis takes pride in being guided by the highest Senegalese value of  TERANGA : welcoming, sharing and supporting each other in happiness always, valuing wealth not for its quantity but for the generosity extended to others.  TERANGA  represents the essence of Senegalese culture and it can be translated with the word hospitality.

On May 21, I took the elderly to visit the British Museum, and the tour guide service was warm and professional. If you visit the museum without a tour guide, it may be completed in half an hour. The main reason is that the historical geography has not been learned well. Under the tour guide&#39;s explanation, the three hours feel very fast. This is the second time I have decided to come to the British Museum for the tour guide service of Trip.com . I still feel that the meaning is still not enough. The first time I came, I also decided that the tour guide service of Trip.com was very good.

Westminster Abbey

Night view

205***29

🏰Westminster Abbey is really amazing!

📍It is located in the center of London, close to the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben. This church is an outstanding representative of British Gothic architecture, with towering spires, exquisite carvings and gorgeous stained glass windows. Every detail shows unparalleled artistic charm.

Walking into the church, it seems to travel through time and space. This is the holy place for the coronation of the British royal family and has witnessed countless important moments in history. At the same time, it is also the resting place of many celebrities. Great figures such as Newton, Darwin, and Dickens are buried here, which makes people respect their contributions.
Walking through it, you can feel the solemnity of religion and appreciate the profound historical and cultural heritage. The Henry VII Chapel in the church is even more exquisite, with a fan-shaped dome roof and dense carvings, like a fairyland. Whether you are an architecture enthusiast or a history and culture fan, Westminster Abbey is definitely worth a visit. I believe you will be deeply impressed by its charm like me.

💕Highly recommended to everyone! 💕

Windsor Castle

Book now for tomorrow

The Queen&#39;s favorite palace is very luxurious, but it is not allowed to take pictures. It can only be taken outside. When entering, a photo was taken and was stopped by the staff. Knowing the life of the royal family, Windsor Castle is generally very quiet.
