Description

River Rhythms -- a community percussion choir playing music based in the traditional folk lore of West Africa.

We meet from 7 to 8:30 at ERUUF on Garrett Road in Durham
March 2 we'll remember Lolo and play pieces from our repertoire
March 9 - ballet style dununs!
March 16 - Bountourabi will teach
April 20 - Bountou may teach

West African music is polyrhythmic, composed of parts for different drums that fit together to make a unified whole. We invite experienced and novice drummers to join us to play together each week. We welcome folks who are interested in learning more about this musical tradition. We teach each week and have drums to lend. Follow the beat of the music and your heart on a Friday to make high-energy music together!
