Help us celebrate For the Love of Literacy with our third monthly fun-filled free event for the whole family (Rain or Shine)
With two special guests:
Drummers from Home is a collective of individuals who have come together out of their love of African and world beats rhythm. Over the years the group has developed a unique chemistry and work hard to incorporate the various backgrounds and personalities of the players.
Khalifa Jallo-Hamilton is the youngest member of the group. Born and raised in Nova Scotia. He began playing the djembe at the age of 5 with his Father. Khalifa has a dynamic, percussive style and pushes the others to play over and under his rhythm patterns.
Robert Leek came to Drummers From Home in 2017. Originally from New Brunswick, Robert brings strong Carib and African rhythms to the group. His spacing and accents give creativity to the play list.
Ayo Aladejebi has been drumming since he was a youngster in Nigeria. His drumming has strong Nigerian flavors with Yoruba roots. Ayo helps to anchor many of the compositions with polyrhythms beats.
The newest member of the group is Sobaz Benjamin. Sobaz was born in Grenada but now calls Halifax home after living in the UK for some time. Sobaz is a quick study and has added depth as the 5th drummer with strong tenor and tempo lines.
Wayn Hamilton is the last founding member of Drummers From Home. Wayn played drums and percussions in Halifax for several music projects. He brings the foundation and direction to the ensemble.
Keonté Beals is a multi-award winning singer-songwriter & author from North Preston, Nova Scotia. Keonte’s mission is to bring people from different walks of life together and inspire conversations about self-love, diversity and inclusion through storytelling.
Keonté is the author of popular children’s books ‘I Am Perfectly Me’ which he wrote and illustrated with his younger brother Antonio Beals, who was eight at the time - and ‘I Am So Worthy'
Keonté founded his touring and publishing company KBeals Entertainment which produced the successful ‘I Am Experience’ children’s book tour presenting to thousands of kids all across the Nova Scotia and Ontario. https://www.kebe.ca/
