Week 7
5 August, Ladies of Midnight Blue – Hannabiell
Head to the Baltic Square at 10.45 for a Community Drum Circle led by Ladies of Midnight Blue, which will coincide with the raising of the flag on BALTIC’s roof. Bring your own drum or percussion instruments to join the drumming. From 13.30, Ladies of Midnight Blue will perform in BALTIC’s Ground Floor gallery. Ladies of Midnight Blue is an Afro-Latin percussion & brass duet comprised of Hannabiell Sanders (Bass Trombone, African & Latin Percussion and Composer) and Yilis del Carmen Suriel (African & Latin Percussion). They create a powerful and upbeat fusion which reaches deeply into trance drum rhythms to create a melodic sound that inspires dancing and audience participation. |
