About the Event
Raquy will be performing a full concert with a handful of special guests on Friday, September 1st, at White Horse Black Mountain (https://www.whitehorseblackmountain.com/product/2023-09-01-raquy-danziger-international-percussion-phenomenon-with-special-guests-including-chris-rosser-and-river-guerguerian-fri-sept-1st-at-7-30pm/1133) and then teaching drumming workshops in split-hand technique and even a drawing and painting workshop in the "Art of Illumination" at Asheville Rhythm https://www.ashevillepercussionfestival.com/events over Labor Day weekend.Â
You'll find a full list of those offerings further down this page.
On the night of September 7th, at 7pm, Raquy will also lead an intimate and entrancing women's drum jam in the Sanctuary of the Center for Conscious Living and Dying. This event is about ritual and groove as opposed to techniques and any style of drummer is invited to bring their instrument and play along or just listen and soak up the vibes.
She'll be joined on the 7th by Lady Bruce, one of the other members of Ladies of Dum.
Here's a duet of Lady Bruce tap-dancing and Raquy rocking the darbuka. https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=9AvpTvirDQk&feature=youtu.be
