Istari World Percussion

This exciting concert explores rhythm as it has come out of Africa through the Caribbean, Brazil and up through the Americas. Participants will see how various rhythms have contributed to today’s popular sounds. Through lecture, demonstration, comedy and hands on participation, students will not only learn about rhythm, but will hopefully gain an appreciation for other cultures. Instruments include Djembe, Doumbek, Congas, Bongos, Caxixi, Cajon, Cuica, Bells and more!
