Djugdjug Ensemble

Sponsored by Friends of the Festival

Sat., Sept. 28, 11:00am: Drum Circle, Festival Tent

This group combines traditional West African songs, rhythms, arrangements, and at times dance, with other musical and theatrical ideas to provide energetic and eclectic performances. Booming with the sound of djembes, dununs, horns, bells, shakers, and voice, the ensemble will lead the Drum Circle at our Festival Tent on Saturday morning and again, be an important part of our Fresh Beats Rhythm Parade as they have been for many years.  

Let Djugdjug help you find your “beet” and be part of the excitement and fun that is the pulse of the Deep Roots!
