It was a delight listening to your music and watching you speak/perform/sing/beat. Listened to your entire CD last evening and it was as pure as your live music. Great job with it!

Panzumo, Circle of Chi and Friends,

Thank you. Every time you all perform it just get's better and better. What a gift you have given our community. We are so blessed to be able to experience African Rhythms so cleverly intermingled with classical melodies. Each and every performer is so talented and they bring something so uniquely different to the stage. It's not just a performance, it's about sharing your passion with the community and letting each of us truly be a part of the experience.

We can hardly wait until your next performance. Yours in Drumming...The Browers

Budhi's Classes

Budhi has so much patience for a teacher. His encouraging attitude keeps you coming back for more. His drumming inspires you to take it to the next level. He definitely brings out the best in his students. His energy lights up a room and its been an honor to study with him.

Love,

Budhi Harlow's offerings of djembe instruction has had a profound effect on how I feel about the culture of music and dance on every level. Not only does Budhi's enthusiasm ring true with his Love for all music and intrigue of several instruments, but his ability to integrate the aspects of each and every culture that he becomes taken with is simply phenomenal. He brings the art of dance and drumming into a light that is rarely felt, heard or seen.

Budhi is a force of nature...his command of the drum is a combination of years of study and a natural talent and passion for this music that comes from a soul-deep place. As a teacher, he's unparralled; patience, humor, and ability. I've been studying with him for 7 years, and there's still so much more to come.

Because of his indepth knowledge of the West African culture, his skilled musicianship and his passion for the art, Budhi can eloquently shapeshift between being a compassionate teacher, a fierce leader and an exceptional performer. I highly recommend his classes and private sessions to anyone who is interested in learning how to drum. ~Kristen Hoye (dancer, healer, teacher)

Lisa Beck creates and offers such an incredible sanctuary to learn the stories of West African music and dance. This is a wonderful class for any person interested in African dance, whether you are a beginner or have been dancing for years!
