Welcome!
Thank you for stopping by my new website. This site was created with the intention of introducing me as an artist and to express gratitude to all the wonderful teachers I was so fortunate to have along the way. Some of these wonderful talented people include the Neve Sharet Music Conservatory in Tel Aviv, Kahlil Cummins and his father Rasan, the wonderful staff and teachers in Motherland Music drum shop, Daniel Santos, Dona Cici of Salvador Bahia, my brother in capoeira Phillipos Haile, and most importantly my mestre- Mestre Amen Santo . Not only has his drumming and music has been an inspiration to me but his open heart and generosity with his time and attention have taught me so much. For that mestre- thank you.
I will also present here information regarding on going and up coming events and projects I am involved with. Please take a few minutes to watch my video to get to know me a little more.
Thank you for your time and for your support.
Axé,
Dana Maman
