In our ongoing commitment to cultural education, we are excited to present these unique Bata Drum Workshops with Musicologist Dr Kent Windress.Don’t miss this opportunity to learn the rhythms of the Orishas on the Sacred Bata drums, once a month in September, October and November at the Brisbane QMC.
Kent Windress is a musician, scholar and educator who was the first Australian-born person to be initiated into the Afro-Cuban religion of Santería as a Babalawo. While travelling to Cuba in 2005 to study its percussion traditions, Kent was introduced to Santería and the world of the orichas and underwent a number of initiations over the following years. Since that time he has committed to studying not only the religious philosophy of Santería but also its associated musical tradition of batá drumming, and is also initiated into the fraternity of ceremonial batá drummers known as omo añá.
