**** SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT - DRUMMERS! ****

Carmine Guida Dumbek Workshop - Sunday, April 1 at 7:30 p.m.
The legendary Carmine Guida will be giving a FREE dumbek workshop before the Gathering from 5 to 7 p.m. for use in his forthcoming instructional video. You must RSVP for this workshop, since only limited number of drummers are needed for this 'live action' video. Please let me know directly at radicalarts@ecoisp.com as soon as you are able.

Who's Carmine? damn! New York City-based mulitinstrumentalist Carmine T. Guida is a familiar face at Middle Eastern dance and music events throughout the country. A dancers' musician, Carmine is appreciated as an enthusiastic, adaptable, and creative accompanist on both doumbek and oud; he plays weekly for belly dancers with several New York City ensembles. www.carmine.com/

Carmine plays with Djinn, Brooklyn's own "East Coast Tribal" style music ranging from traditional Middle Eastern to an experimental blending of traditional instruments with electronics and beat boxing. Check them out at www.djinnnyc.com/


Gathering of the Tribal Moon - Sunday, April 1 at 7:30 p.m.

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

Gathering of the Tribal Moon
Charter Oak Cultural Center
Sunday, April 1 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
