ARTIST BIO
Drumhand
ÃÂ 
Toronto ensemble DRUMHAND wields a name derived from the groupâÂÂs percussive origins. Hands, sticks and mallets pounding out old and new rhythms on weathered skins: evoking ancient forms of âÂÂmessagingâ via global beats for dancing bodies and curious ears! The groupâÂÂs âÂÂfolkloricâÂÂ-style vocalsàappear in a variety of languages and sometimes offer audiences a part in the show.
If you like the sounds of the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Yemen Blues, or Peter Gabriel’s collaborations with the Afro Celt Sound Sysytem â you’ll enjoy DRUMHAND.
