The Malcolm X Drummers and Dancers are an extremely talented and masterly group of cultural artists in the DC area whose proud tradition of demonstrating African culture through drumming, dancing, and singing has its original in Malcolm X Park. Malcolm X Park, located in the Adams Morgan/Columbia Heights area of the District of Columbia (officially named Meridian Hill Park), is a magical place where, for over 50 years, drummers of all persuasions conjugate with dancers and other artists on Sundays (weather permitting) to create a fantastic display of African music in conjunction with traditional music from many other origins of the world.

WITH MUSIC BY www.Petehanks.com All the way from Seattle! Here's what Pete has to say:
A ROADTRIP WITH DAD PLAYING CASSETTES SOMEWHERE BETWEEN THE 10th PLAY OF DYLAN’S DON'T THINK TWICE, IT'S ALRIGHT, AND ZEPPLIN’S GOING TO CALIFORNIA, COULD BE WHERE IT HAPPENED.I'D THOUGHT 11 WAS AN ADEQUATE AGE TO TRY OUT FOR THE BAND. THEN AGAIN, IT WAS PROBABLY SOME INSIGNIFICANT MOMENT - A SONG ON THE RADIO, A LINE IN A BOOK, A PRETTY GIRL. SOME LITTLE PUSH THAT BROUGHT ME TO THIS: I WRITE SONGS.
