About this Performance

Founded by percussionist Kahlil Cummings, the all-female ensemble Bloco Obini utilizes the healing spirit of the drum, “Ayan Agalu,” to educate, uplift, and empower community. The drum ensemble is made up of educators, nurses, dance instructors, political activists, students, mothers, and healers who perform Afro-Brazilian bloco-style drumming. The group’s message to children shares that they have infinite possibilities and hope—and affirm that we are all royalty who come from kings and queens.
