Artist: Laughing Mallet

World Rhythm Connections engages students in a high energy, interactive exploration of the universal language of rhythm. Inspired by music from Africa, India, the Middle East, and North and South America, Laughing Mallet presents a program of rhythm-based compositions that highlight similarities in the way rhythm is expressed throughout the world, and how our modern musical landscape has become a melting pot of these diverse influences. Listening, feeling, expression and group interaction are all part of the creative process that the audience experiences through a dynamic performance where the listener is encouraged to participate and discover their own connections to this world of rhythm.
