The Been Na Un Dennah Drum-Song of the Wind

If you can drum or keep a beat and have a gift for picking up songs to sing we are looking for you. We need to add some new singers to our American Indian drum. You would learn from the oldest American Indian singer and drummer in Chicago, who an award winning dancer as well. If you know anything about American Indian Pow Wows, you know they are exciting events where the drummers and singers take center stage. Practices would be for just a few hours every other week and less after you learn the songs. Consider joining us and bringing a friends. You need not be Native American to learn.
