Come jam with us! A call-and-response session between the artists on stage, this evening showcases South Indian rhythms made by the nattuvangam (cymbals), mridangams (double-sided drums), and konnakkol (recitation of rhythmic syllables).
Sway, move, and groove to the rhythm made by instruments with an ancient history, and participate in an interactive audience session to create rhythms with the musicians. All are welcome to enjoy and have fun with the beats and to take your knowledge of rhythm and South Indian music to a new level.
This performance is a collaboration between Sarada Kala Nilayam, a Portland dance school, and Sankara Drumming Group, a South Indian Classical percussion school.
Supported by a City of Hillsboro Performance Series Grant, this performance directly supports Sarada Kala Nilayam, with a portion of the proceeds benefiting The Young Artist’s Club.
