• CUUPs Introduction to West African Drumming

  <p><strong>If you have a heartbeat, you have rhythm!</strong> Join the Owl Moon Covenant of UU Pagans (CUUPs) on Saturday, April 27th, from 6 to 8 pm in the Fellowship Hall for a hands-on workshop where we’ll <em>learn the basics of West African drumming</em>, including hand positions, traditional rhythms/songs and drum circle etiquette.&nbsp;</p><p><strong>No experience necessary <em>-&nbsp;</em></strong>just a willingness to join in the groove! We’ll be primarily learning how to play the djembe and other goblet-shaped drums. If you have a frame drum (tar, tambourine, buffalo drum, bodhran) - then you are welcome to bring it - but you will get more out of the class if you have a djembe, ashiko, or doumbek. <em>Some drums will be available to share, so if you don’t have a drum - don’t worry!</em><em>&nbsp;We’ve got you covered. Let’s make some music together!</em></p><p><strong>This is a free event, but registration is required.&nbsp;</strong>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Please register here: <a href="https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F2019CUUPsAfricanDrumming%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR0kdN_oyYpyWuhFgJ_n5kg5j1wS9iSnRZzfzvRQt1t5-DVNTCXhfEo1hUs&amp;h=AT3Bf464AKKJK0BB1VN5rkPuuD3a5k_FJqZ14X1jby7ZmSjiaFVGwtxlAkNmh9K04zh_D7u0mNYWgGYVnawUUGGDyALWsSRzu6RFpOZ03qcj2TGAZxyuS_Y-7vb0GHOXsBCacQ" class="fr-green">CUUPsAfricanDrumming</a></p><p><strong>River Roberts</strong> picked up her first drum in 1998, and hasn't looked back since. She has since traveled around North America and Europe teaching West African drumming techniques and facilitating drum circles and workshops. River's style is community-oriented, fun, and accessible to all levels of experience.</p> 2019-04-02 20:00:00 -0500
