The Women Master Drummers of Guinea Spingold Theater Center A thrilling evening of dynamic African drumming, song, and dance that has been hailed by critics internationally as "a heavenly outpouring of throbbing jubilation, forceful uplifting beats, and pounding enthusiasm that is hypnotic." West Africa's Les Percussion de Guinee, is widely recognized as one of the most extraordinary drumming ensembles in the world. Featured in the award-winning Imad film PULSE: A STOMP Odyssey, it has always been, by custom, all male. Now, for the first time ever, these famous men share the stage with women Master-Drummers. With Amazones, a brave new adventure begins for West African women.
