Ubuntu is an African philosophy that expresses our humanity and interconnectedness. Drumming is an activity that brings people, groups or communities together. When these two are meshed, what we get is a musical gathering depicting our link to one another. Everyone is immediately connected through the making of music and drumming.
Take part in this interactive program that brings together impromptu musicians (made up the programs participants) playing unique beats on the drums and other percussion instruments. This is an intergenerational kinesthetic activity that everyone can enjoy regardless of musical ability.
PLEASE NOTE: Drums will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Drop-in event. Everyone welcome.
