Stick Pounding: Rhythm of the Ancestors

Learn the basics of Gullah Stick Pounding in this free workshop led by Melanie DeMore. We will create a foot stomping, hand-clapping rhythmic community and combine it with singing spirituals and songs of protest and peace. Participants will learn about Gullah/Geechee culture through its dynamic music and rhythmic heart. We will, as a community, turn the whole place into a living, breathing drum.
