"WE ARE THE DRUM” with Quint Lange
Sept 1, 8, 15, 22, 29 & 10/6 2011 -
Thursday evenings - 7:30pm – 9:00pm
at Ron's 1012 E Southampton Ave Wyndmoor, Pa 19038
$96.00 for the 6 class session.
Seating limited, please reserve asap!
Whether on club dates from St. Barthe to the Turks and Caicos, to Key West and points north to Bar Harbor, Maine; or in classroom and concert settings in Key West, at the Institute du Developpment de la Personne in Quebec, or having assisted and performed with Babatunde Olatunji at the Omega Institute in New York St, it has been Quint’s pleasure and privilege to play drums for dancers for nearly twenty five years.
“WE ARE THE DRUM” is a hand drumming workshop (and jun-jun/bell for those interested) for beginning to “advancing” players, starting with the basics as given by Babatunde Olatunji and moving into West African and Afro Caribbean rhythms with the emphasis on pulse, flow and developing the awareness that as drummers, and musicians in general, we walk a fine line between playing and being played by the music. Making music together involves a collective awareness, a communal agreement as to how we relate to and use the flow of time, choosing moments of sound and silence to create rhythm. Our goal as a drum ensemble is to become one drummer with as many hands as are playing.
Drumming, dancing and singing have the power to elate, to heal, and to heighten one’s spiritual and physical well being. Music is a gift we are all blessed with to one extent or another and the way to honor that gift is to use it and to share it, through teaching, performing, or simply sending a joyful noise into the universe around us.

August 23, 2011 "Raul Malo" 8 PM at World Cafe Live
It begins with a fanfare. With a few well-chosen notes, a mournful trumpet carries us to a far away place and proclaims that something is about to happen, calling on one’s full attention. And in every way, Sinners & Saints, ex-Mavericks musician Raul Malo’s new album, is worthy of that attention. Rooted in Malo’s life-long connection to Latin music, but infused with his wide-ranging love of country, blues, jazz and vintage rock and roll, Sinners & Saints melds sonic ingenuity with emotional sincerity. His lyrics continue to mature, and his vision continues to sharpen. His musicianship, especially his ability to blend traditional Mexican instruments with his ferociously twanging guitars, is on full display. The many thousands of fans who have been on the journey with him so far will want to add this album to their collections, and for those finding out about Malo for the first time, Sinners & Saints will be an ideal introduction to his searching, eclectic and thoroughly appealing sound.
