About the event

DRUMSPIRATION FOR EVERYONE WITH DRUMLADY K ~ Sunday at KarmaFest
SPECIAL WORKSHOP AT KARMAFEST . . .
SUNDAY JUNE 29TH 4:00PM – 5:30PM
DRUMSPIRATION FOR EVERYONE WITH DRUMLADY K
(SPECIAL WORKSHOP ~ ADDITIONAL TICKET REQUIRED ~ $25 OR PART OF THE ALL INCLUSIVE VIP TICKET!)
(recommended for ages 9 and up)
Release anxiety, enhance your immune system, strengthen your core and cultivate connection while doing a deep dive into the beautiful Djembe drum from the Mande people of West Africa. Learn the essential technique, some important history, powerful rhythms and their accompanying songs. We will also build a group rhythm by improvisation, one drum at a time. Bring your own djembe or rent ($10) or purchase ($195-$495 range) from Drumlady K. In a pinch, other goblet or conically shaped hand drums can be used (such as congs, doumbeks). All playing levels welcome. Kristen Arant, aka The Drumlady, is a musician, activist and teaching artist whose mission is to facilitate skilled artistry and self-expression, and to build community towards the goal of creating positive social change amongst a diverse student body, with a special focus on women and girls. Originally an oboe player majoring in music and called to the drum via her activist pursuits, Kristen has studied West African drumming, song and percussion for 20+ years in order to utilize these art forms as her primary tools in furthering her mission. Kristen is the founder of the DC non-profit Young Women's Drumming Empowerment Project (YWDEP), and of the all-women’s West African drumming ensemble Bele Bele Rhythm Collective. Kristen has been to Ghana, West Africa 5 times in partnership with drummer and drum builder Michael Kweku Owusu, leading cultural and musical immersion tours. Kristen also plays guitar and has written songs in a new genre - Kids Afrobeat. One of these songs, GeogrAfrica, made it onto all the platforms in late 2024. Kristen currently teaches classes online (Zoom Drum) and in-person (Drumspiration!) at her studio (Drumlady K's Rhythm Room) located in Takoma Park MD, and wherever she is called. She is also the music teacher for grades K-6 at Lee Montessori Public Charter School in Washington DC. Full length bio and more on Kristen at: www.drumlady.com.
