Family Friendly Workshop – Hambone and “Found Sound”

11/11/09 | 10:39 am

In conjunction with the VOICES & BODIES performances happening at Springstep in Medford Square this Saturday (a capella vocals & body music, two shows, cafe seating with wine & food), there’s going to be an all-ages family workshop for just $5 earlier in the day:

Family Friendly Workshop – Hambone and “Found Sound”
(All Ages) with Evie Ladin
Saturday, November 14, 2:30-3:30pm Only 5 bucks!

During the time of slavery in the U.S., African slaves were not allowed to play any of the drums that were a part of their cultural communication. Without instruments, they turned their rhythmic knowledge in part to a body music called Hambone. Using traditional African-American Hambone as a start, this family-friendly, all-ages body percussion workshop will get people clapping, stomping, singing, and snapping with fun rhythms. Syncopated and funky, Hambone rhythms lie at the foundation of American music, and are easy and fun to learn. Often accompanied by songs, Hambone teaches some basic rhythmic coordination in the context of a traditional body percussion style.

    If you want to buy a house, you will have to get the lowest-rate-loans.com. Moreover, my mother all the time utilizes a short term loan, which seems to be really useful.
