Sistahs of the Drum

We are students and teachers, listeners and communicators, consumers and creators, protectors and nurtures, friends and lovers.  We drum from the heart, for the heart, to the heart, and with our heart.  Absorbing the teachings of West African rhythms, songs, and dances.  Sistahs of the Drum respectfully represent the essence of our traditional African roots in harmony with our African-American cultural rearing.  The resulting sound is from somewhere deep within; playing through us and resonating with you.  

Current members are: Mar Stevens, Sandy Mills, Charlene Gumbs, Shawn Nealy-Oparah, La Tanya Carmical, Mya Jonisha Cross, and Nina Roberts
