African Drumming

The African Drumming Ensemble at Eastern is made up of students and community members dedicated to the traditional musics of Western Africa.  The group came into existence 7 years ago, and has performed numerous concerts around the Pacific Northwest.  With increased interest recently, the ensemble has split into two groups, a seasoned performing ensemble and a group dedicated to new  drummers.  

The Ensemble began touring last year and will again visit schools around the Northwest this spring.
