Inanna: Sisters in Rhythm - Benefit Concert!!!
Inanna, Sisters in Rhythm, is a percussion and vocal ensemble that explores the heritage and rhythms of West Africa, through original arrangements and compositions invoking ancient traditions of the drum. The group takes their name from an ancient Sumerian goddess, who held reign more than 4,000 years ago during a period when it is believed that drummers and dancers were predominantly women. Inanna is deeply dedicated to the education and cultivation of peace and sharing among cultures through the power of music. They have been performing together for almost seventeen years, have released five full-length albums and have performed at percussion festivals and community events throughout the northeast.
As a group, Inanna members have studied percussion with Karamo Sabally of Gambia, West Africa; John McDowell of the Afro-jazz fusion group "Mamma Tongue"; Yaya Diallo, master drummer from Mali and the author of The Healing Drum; Layne Redmond, author of When the Drummers Were Women; and Famoudou Konate, one of the world's best known and recognized djembe players.
