Come out to play with the Wendell Warriors drumming ensemble and their leader Jafar Manselle! Jafar and his performance group will first perform and discuss the history of the rhythms and their meanings as used for village celebrations. He will then demonstrate the basic hand placements used to create the tones and participants will get to practice making the sounds. As a group, the ensemble and the participants will all play together and celebrate the day.

All the drums and percussion instruments will be provided, however if anyone has their own drum they can feel free to bring it.

All available drums have been claimed, but everyone is welcome to come and listen to the music.  If you’d like to sign up for the waitlist for a drum, sign up here: https://forms.gle/2TkPV72UEjZ4xpa66
