UUCB Concerts for a Cause: INANNA, Sisters in Rhythm

Inanna, Sisters in Rhythm, an all-women percussion and vocal ensemble, will perform at the Unitarian Universalist Church on April 13, 2019 at 7:30pm. Dedicated to cultural diversity, education, and healing through the universal language of music, they blend western vocal harmonies with the polyrhythms of West Africa, the Middle East, and Brazil, while creating a multicultural fusion beyond tradition. Together for 28 years, the group has recorded six full-length albums and has performed at numerous percussion festivals and community events.
