Rich Reiter led about 20 of us in welcoming the arrival of fall last night at Tiger Lily. We had a terrific time with a variety of djembes, shekeres, doumbeks, tablas, and percussion instruments I've never seen or heard before. When we ran out of chairs, we used upside-down water buckets from the back, and they became drums as well.
Folks just wandered in off the street and grabbed a drum. Nice to put little Teaneck in an uproar. You could hear the polyrhythms up and down Cedar Lane.
On top of it all, we managed to raise some money for
All for Africa's "Palm Out Poverty" campaign to promote sustainable agriculture projects across the continent. Very cool.
