Welcome to the
Rhythm Family.
Rhythm is the mother tongue, a universal language that
we all speak whether we know it or not. The Rhythm Family is about
embracing and exploring the rhythms with in us and the rhythms surrounding
us. The basic fundamentals of drumming give us the building blocks
to learn and appreciate our every experience, to continue growing
throughout life and nurture our need to thrive.
Drumming, dancing,
singing and the art of ritual have been used by cultures all over
the world as ways to celebrate community and
energize the sprits of those communities. Through exploring the
tradition of rhythm and rhythmic expression, we have an interest
in documenting and preserving these rhythmic traditions so they can
be shared with generations of today and tomorrow.
As individuals
we can join in the Rhythm Family circle, embracing tradition, and
at the same time seeking to understand how these
traditions can have context in our modern lives.
