I originate from a band/group/tribe. So I gravitated towards that same formula with Free to Be Me Drum Circle, meaning bass guitar, drum set, lead singer, and lead guitar...a full rock primitive souful band/Tribe. The Djuns, which are drums from Africa made of solid wood and cowhide, are the bass guitar.The Congas and the Bongos are the lead singer, which is the soungbird that sings in and out of all the rhythms.The Djembe and timbales are the lead guitar.Then we have the natural rock and roll drum set, which completes the band, influenced with rock, soul, funk, organic, primal, tribal, primitive healing hhythms.The facilitator/director leads the crowd participation into loving, educational, rhythmic games that keep them interchanged with dance and song. They cannot resist to interact and reach down deep into their freedom. Each member of the tribe that serves the music, along with the guest and volunteers, are those who eat, sleep, and drink music/serving...for them, like me, are the catalyst, the train. Then everybody jumps on, while complementing each others' rhythmic personalities, like no other. It becomes one phenomenal elation of emotional, sacred healing. So get ready to rock and roll and groove...move to the trueness of your natural ability to drum.
