It is with great joy that we at Didge Project present to you our annual summer event, the Tribal Rhythms Gathering, this coming August 2-5. This gathering bridges world music performances and workshops with shamanic traditions, yoga, sweat lodge, vegetarian food and more.

Our featured artists this year include Alash Ensemble, a group comprised of master throat singers and instrumentalists from Tuva, Glen Velez, the master of contemporary frame drum playing, Maestro Manuel Rufino, Taino elder and ceremonial leader, and Dream Seed, the shamanic sound collective that features members of Didge Project and Golden Drum.

As a bonus event, we have added a special drum making workshop in which participants will make their own shamanic frame drums (on Monday, August 6).

We look forward to having you join us this August at The Tribal Rhythms Gathering. Thanks for reading and stay tuned for more news on this gathering and more!

DidgeProject.com
Didge Project is a blog, youtube channel, series of courses and events, instrument store and a collective of musicians who want to help you use music as a tool for uplifting yourself and others around you. 

On our site you will find tips and tutorials to help you become a better musician, didgeridoo lessons, instrument features and reviews, and reports on the latest scientific research and spiritual discoveries merging through the medium of sound.

When we began in 2008 our main focus was on teaching how to play the didgeridoo, a wind instrument originating in aboriginal Australia and also said to be present in ancient Mayan times. After working with countless people it became apparent that most musicians play multiple instruments and that we have the community resources to help all musicians get better results. While we still provide didgeridoo lessons, classes and programs, our focus is to provide tutorials for music and instruments from all around the world.
