Drum and Dance
I love to dance. I love poly rhythms. They inspire my art and my dance, and the two combine synergistically.
I was in Argentina for a couple of years where I encountered some wonderful African drum and dance teachers, especially Sebouka and Anita.
I spent several months working on sigils of djembe playing—a djembe is a West African drum—and searching for 3 brush strokes to describe a dancer jumping really high in response to the drums. You can see the djembe and sounds coming out of it and the thrilling effect of the dundun sounds.
Tambor y danza
Me encanta bailar. Me encantan los múltiples ritmos. Inspiran mi arte y mi danza, y se combinan los dos sinérgicamente.
Estuve un par de años en Argentina donde conocí algunos maravillosos profesores de danza y tambores africanos, especialmente Sebouka y Anita.
Durante varios fui creando sigilos de gente tocando el djembé (un djembé es un tambor de África occidental) y buscando tres pinceladas para describir a un bailarín saltando bien alto en respuesta a los tambores. Puedes apreciar el djembé y los sonidos que salen de él y el emocionante efecto de los sonidos del dundun.
