SFCC World Drumming instructor, Marty Zyskowski, and SFCC World Drumming students perform a West African drum piece in Building 24. Marty describes the piece as follows:
The original idea of my piece was to echo the meaning of the name affixed to Building 24 described to me as the Salish name, Sn-wey-mn or "Trading Places." My original concept was to have 4 Djembe student drummers (with myself performing on Axhaste/shaker and African double bells) perform a celebration pattern modeled after a West African rhythm called 'Coucou.' We would be "trading places" in the drum configuration patterns and eventually trading off our drums for "hands" playing these same patterns on the banister railing, steps, and walls transcending floor one to floor two.
Our gratitude to Marty, our students, and SFCC Video Storyteller, Rick Suhr.
