African Rhythms Drum Party - EVERY FRIDAY
8:00-11:00pm-FREE ADMISSION
Here's a description of our new drum circle, in the words of drummer Toneji Garrett..."This is not your average drum circle. This a free community event encouraging spontaniety and creativity by playing traditional West African rhythms that for centuries were used to gather large crowds to celebrate births, weddings, harvest and other special events. We play the rhythms slow for the newcomer to join in and when the moment is right take it faster. Finding your own rhythm is usually what happens when polyrhythms start to form.That creativity, along with established rhythms, forms beautiful music-so the more the better! Everyone is invited: families, neighbors, or just folks looking for something different on a Friday night that doesn't cost a cent. No experience necessary!"
