Drumming for Peace
October 12, 2017 By
NO MUSICAL EXPERIENCE NEEDED – COME HAVE SOME FUN!
THIS IS A FREE EVENT!!!
Desmond Tutu said, “Do your little bit of good where you are; its those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world.”
This day of drum and dance is intended to be one of those little bits of good. Come join us for a day of peace, joy, and unity. No matter who you are or what your skill level, we’ll guarantee some high energy, uplifting, fun! As Mamady Keita says, “The djembe does not know color, gender, age, it only knows our hearts.”
Bring your drum, bring your shaker, bring your heart as we play with members from the different West African drumming and dance ensembles in the greater Atlanta/Decatur area. Our intention is to put out good vibes to heal our world, county, state, ctiy, neighborhoods, and homes by coming together in peace. We also want to give thanks and honor to our teachers of the Mandingue whose music has inspired us to share the joy and passion with community.
