Gathering of the Tribal Moon - Sunday, February 4 at 7:30 p.m.

*** SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT ***
The Gathering is a very special place, giving Middle Eastern tribal dancers the opportunity to move with live music and players of all kinds of instruments are welcome to play. I ask that as drummers, we respect the dancers and quieter musicians by playing with them, not against them. For example, djembes, when played full-on African-style can be so overwhelming, players of quieter instruments are drowned out and dancers who frequent the Gathering lose inspiration. So, if we watch our volume and choose appropriate instruments to play, we should be able to hear everyone while keeping the tribal vibe alive... thank you, Chris

Let the full moon guide you to the Gathering of the Tribe.

Gathering of the Tribal Moon
Charter Oak Cultural Center
Sunday, February 4 at 7:30 p.m.
FREE

What do you feel when the moon is full? Extra hairy? A desire to swell with the rising tide? Illuminated with the urge to dance and make music and dance some more? Let the lunar rhythms guide the music and the motion making you move on this magnificent night.

The Tribe follows no specific dogma, we are coming together in what was once the oldest synagogue in Connecticut. It is an evening of merrymaking, pure and simple, dress outrageously, have a little wine, drum and dance and laugh and sing, my friends.

Drummers, Dancers, Musicians and Others will gather every full moon to participate in a truly tribal experience. We will start with basic Middle-Eastern rhythms to get the dancers moving and see where we go from there. Please bring instruments, the desire to dance or the enthusiasm to share in a tribal experience. Extra drums and other percussion will be available as well.

Please consider joining the tribe for updates and an open exchange of ideas for all facets of this event, tribes.tribe.net/gathering...inhartford
