The Buddhahood January 15, 2010

The Buddhahood will perform with full electric eclectic ensemble at 7:00PM
with also a world drum workshop earlier in the day at 1:00PM. (Workshop info below)

All are welcome to enter the wonderful world of drumming! In the Buddhahood World Drumming Workshop, you will practice drumming for cultural enrichment, community building and self expression. Beginners will get a primer on proper technique, while advancing musicians and beginners alike will learn some tradition-specific rhythms and pieces. We will demonstrate how these "passport rhythms," as they are called, can be used in the recreational context of a drum circle. We will also explore the connection between Africa and the New World, tracing the origins of Samba -- the music, culture and instruments -- back to its African roots, and of course playing this music on our drums. Some Brazilian and west-African percussion instruments will be provided for workshop participants, but if you own your own drum, please bring it and forge a deeper connection with it at the Buddhahood World Drumming Workshop.
The Buddhahood is a performance ensemble whose members include music educators, music therapists, composers and world music specialists. On stage, they entertain audiences with a world-beat/rock fusion that occupies a genre of its own. The group possesses a unique body of knowledge gained through the incorporation of traditional as well as modern world music elements in their original compositions. .
