Greetings drummers of the world; My name is TAMBA GWINDI and i'm from the twin island state of TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO in the Southern Caribbean.I'v been loving the drums since childhood and i'm pleased to be part of this community who share this love for the drums.I listen to as many styles of music that i can but i have a strong leaning to calypso jazz fusion , African traditional and contemporary music and latin music of all styles.I decided to pursue music seriously when i heard a recording of Candido Cameo in the 70's and also the congero/bongocero Henry Gibson who played with the late Curtis Mayfield at that period.In my country we have many styles of hand and stick drumming that are influenced by an African and Indian presence on the islands.One of these styles called KALINDA was passed on to me by my father on the kitchen table of my child hood home.This style is played to accompany a type of martial art found in my country in which a stick is used.I reciently landed a MEINL endorsement the description of which is on the profile.So lets link up and talk drums. BLESSINGS and RESPECT.

Welcome,
We are becoming quite a diverse group here. It is great to see new people on board with such broad drumming backgrounds. Looking forward to hearing more about the islands also, sounds like a great place to live.

Re: conecting


Greetings Church Drummer'It's a pleasure to be connecting with people of the wider world.The islands are beautiful but like anywhere in the world we experience problems be they political,economic,whatever.We cushion these issues with the music .In the music you'll find our hopes and aspirations, our spiritual persuations our joys and sorrows.The island life is pretty laid back generally even though some islands are changing as a result of exposure to western culture.Do you play hand drums man? If not, get one bro.I need to get a drum kit too though ,which ihope to do soon.Hand drumming connects you in a direct way to the scource of how and why music is so powerful man.It's a lot of vibration and it encourages people- connection because it is at it's strongest when performed in a group setting.It would be great to develope this groupwise at your church.Sorry to cut the link but i Got to run.So we'll talk later. Blessings
