Presenting
only percussion instruments to express the
diversity of earth's rhythms and cultures -
Planet Percussion is unique. All our songs
are done without lyrics or electronic
sounds; using only percussion instruments.
Planet
Percussion intertwines its own new rhythms
with other cultural rhythms, playing on a
variety of hand drums, as well as using
instruments to create a variety of Mother
Nature's sounds. Together with our group of
dancers we put on a high energy, foot
stomping show encouraging audience
participation.
Planet
Percussion has participated in the
Procession of the Species, a community
celebration of Earth's diversity of animal
life and cultures, and other special events
in Olympia, Washington and other nearby
communities.
We
originally got together in the spring of
1998 for the Procession of the Species. We
play a variety of instruments from all over
the world including djembes, congas, hang
drums, ocean drums, steel drums, log drums,
talking drums, and a number of other
percussion instruments representing
different cultures of the world. The key
mission of our group is to celebrate
cultural diversity and to bring the world
together through percussion music, art, and
dance as well as celebrate the different
musical styles associated with many
cultures.
Our
band invites members of the community to
join and welcomes people of all color,
gender, age and musical ability to learn
about percussion instruments, how to play a
variety of these instruments, how to perform
in public, and how to have fun in a
community/family environment.
We
sincerely hope that you come enjoy our band.
