Free Spirit Gathering 2026 - Unity in the storm

Tuesday August 4, 2026 15:00 - 16:30 EDT

This frame drum and its cymbals can be a lead instrument in an Arabic ensemble. It can embellish the rhythms, or can hold a steady beat. We will cover beledi, maqsoum, chiftetelli and other rhythms, including a 9/8 if folks are up for it. There will be a dozen tambourines to lend out or buy in the class, or bring your own with TWO rows of cymbals, AND a head. Nina is the leader of Brinjal World Music, Baltimore’s bellydance band.
