A community gathering of Black consciousness, the power of community honoring Zumbi dos Palmares and all leaders that empower our community.
About this Event

O Tambor Fala is a community conversation through drumming- an opportunity to bring families together, strengthen relationships, and create space for meaningful dialogue.

Through the rhythm of the drum, we explore our responsibilities as community and family leaders and individuals. We ask ourselves: How do our actions influence others?

How can we lead by example?

How can we inspire one another to grow together?

Zumbi Festival reminds us that every action has an impact. when we choose respect, responsibility, unity, and positive action; those choices can ripple through our families amd strengthen the entire community.

The drum becomes more than an instrument- it becomes a voice for connection, reflection, accountability, and collective growth.

ZUMBI (1655- Nov 20, 1695), also known as Zumbi dos Palmares was a Brazillian Quilombola leader, being one of the pioneers of resistance to slavery of Africans by the Portuguese in colonial Brazil. He was also the last of the kings of the quilombo dos palmares, a settlement of Afro-Brazillian people who had liberated themselves from enslavement in that same settlement, in the present-day state of Alagoas, Brazil. Zumbi today is revered in Afro-Brazillian culture as a powerful symbol of resistance against enslavement of Africans in the colony of Brazil.
