Spirit Beat is a percussive ensemble playing instruments and music from the traditions of West Africa. The music is part of an oral tradition passed down through generations. The group was formed in April 2000 with the mission of learning traditional West African rhythms and sharing our knowledge in the community through classes and performances.
Spirit Beat's performances are composed of a mix of drumming, singing, and dancing, and always invite interaction. The group performs for a wide variety of events, including festivals, community celebrations, fundraisers, and worship services.
Spirit Beat Drummers are Piri Molnar, Keith Mundis, Susan Natale, Jana Sains, Lillian Taylor, Caroline Quinn, Page Rogers and Ben Weston.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
