Special thanks to Raleigh Drum Circle and Friends for performing at the 2008 CROP WALK! Raleigh Drum Circle and Friends is a percussion group that taps the vibrant and dynamic rhythms of multiple cultures to celebrate, connect and unify. They are a performance ensemble that grew from the Raleigh Drum Circle, a community-based group which draws dozens of drummers to their weekly gathering. RaleighDrum Circle and Friends' members each bring their love of music and a unique background to the mix as they spread the joys of rhythm... and invite the audience along for the ride.
