Get your groove on -- Norman Jones and the Rhythm Child Family Band will bring their finger-popping, drum-based music to Descanso Gardens at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, July 13.
Armed with tambourines, beaded gourds (shekeres) and small West African-styled drums (djembes), Rhythm Child pounds out infectious beats and melodies that young and old will love. During the show, the audience is invited to join in a musical jam. We dare you to sit still!
A singer, performer and hand drummer for more than 20 years, Jones started the Rhythm Child Network with his wife Heather to inspire “young children to come in contact with the pulse of drum-based music.” Through concerts, CD recordings, school programs and family drum circles, Rhythm Child offers the powerful sounds of world cultures to audiences of all ages. (For more information, visit www.rhythmchild.net).
The concert is free with Gardens’ admission: $8 adults, $6 children 5-12, and free for children 4 and younger. Picnics and blankets, not usually allowed in the Gardens, are encouraged for this event.
