Workshop Description:

In this workshop participants will be challenged to channel inner power and translate it into sound for individual and collective expression. We will explore drums and other percussion instruments of various pitches and materials -- including metal, wood, plastic -- as we embrace the lessons of resistance in musical forms such as Ijexa, Ilu, and Samba Reggae developed by the descendants of enslaved Africans in Brazil and the Caribbean. The experience will be visceral, creative, joyous, and loud. Instruments will be provided. No prior experience necessary.
