Uniting a Community through West African Drumming

If Rotary’s mission is to expand our vision to include the entire community, then this type of presentation illustrates that thinking completely. The Arts unify. They bring together and celebrate a type of activity that makes us feel something. Not just “doing” something but dropping into something ancient, wise and familiar. Drumming does this especially. This workshop grounded us all and lifted us upbeat the same time. Focused on Xavier and his deeply resonant voice and his patient teaching. Focused on learning rhythms. Focused on the new, expansive embrace that Rotary is hoping to share.
