About this project

          We, Inanna, Sisters In Rhythm, have been playing music together for 22 years.  What keeps us together after so many years?  Our love of rhythm, our love for each other, and our shared passion for the earth and for the voice of the Feminine as it speaks through the drum and through our singing.  We feel deeply motivated to create our 7th album at this time.

We are in a time of great transformation on planet Earth where there is a need for global healing, for social transformation, and for a spiritual awakening. We are committed to a gentle process for all as we move into living life from the heart, embracing all cultures as family and giving back to the Earth that sustains us.

We feel that the joy experienced through the music of the drum, our voices,  and their overtones is carrying us into the coming era - one of peace, boundless creative expression and abundance for all. Our music is our offering, creating songs that express a vision of hope, of healing, of strength, and solidarity.  Music is our common language on this planet, a way to appreciate our commonalities, our diversity, our traditions, and the fusion of those sounds and rhythms and harmonies that bring us joy. This CD is our invitation to you to join us in this vision and intention.

We would like to thank Jonne Trees - Production Manager,  John Morrison - sound engineer,  Marita Kennedy-Castro - dancer,   Dave Griffin - videographer, Pat O'Donnell -sound engineer,  Stone Mountain Arts Center, and all the people on this Video: Lydia Kitfield, Morgan Mitchell, Julia Yelton, Andrea Goodman, and Andrea Antognoni. Much Love, Ever Grateful.

Inanna, Sisters in Rhythm, is a percussion and vocal ensemble that explores the heritage and rhythms of West Africa, the Middle East, South American and many indigenous cultures through original arrangements and compositions invoking ancient traditions of the drum. Inanna was originally created by the participants of a drum class in Alna, Maine twenty-two years ago. Since that time, Inanna has recorded and released six, full-length albums and has performed at numerous percussion festivals and community events.
