CELEBRATION OF THE DRUM
Ashé Cultural Arts Center is celebrating the powerful drums of Africa, Brazil, Cuba, Haiti, India, Japan and the Mardi Gras Indians.
Featured artist HAMID DRAKE (pictured) heads the bill with his remarkable percussion prowess. Drake, an extraordinary jazz drummer and percussionist, was born in Monroe, Louisiana, but resides in Chicago. He spends much of his time traveling around the world for concerts and studio dates.
Along with Drake, drummers representing several countries, are ready to get off!
Hear serious drumbeats from around the globe as you experience body movements that show how much you're enjoying the aural encounters. Get ready to dance and groove into the night.
Tickets are only $20.
Celebration of the Drum is part of Hamid Drake's National Performance Network (NPN) residency with Ashé Cultural Arts Center.
