Drums were outlawed for Africans before the United States was born. African captives and their descendants in the colonies/U.S. kept on playing: fiddle, banjo, bones, triangle, and tambourine.  These instruments, their techniques and aesthetics inspired the U.S.'s major entertainment form of the 19th century: Blackface Minstresly.  Deep in the stereotypes are kernels of truth.  Let's look at some!

A lifelong percussionist, urban shaman, and historian, Súle Greg Wilson continues to share tenets, tunes, tales, and techniques to bring these ancestral voices back to us, today.  Join in the (sacred) fun!
