Bio
Spoken Hand is a high energy celebration of polyphonic rhythms. Their elaborate compositions wed the ceremonial and secular with a symphonically textured fusion of traditional and contemporary drumming. This sonically explosive world music orchestra features a dozen of Philadelphia's most talented hand drummers merging four percussion traditions: North Indian tabla, West African djembe, Brazilian samba, and Afro-Cuban bata. ..
