Tribe1 is an ensemble of singers, poets and drummers dedicated to performing songs of Transformation-songs which nurture the soul and remind us of our interconnection-songs which inspire and motivate us to shout for joy ~ vibrate with truth.
Through songs of transformation, poetry and movement, Tribe1 rouses the heart, bridges disconnection, and awakens the audience to the essential joy, unity and compassion of human experience.
Our music invites the experience and participation of the audience. Our audiences are always invited to Sit back and simply enjoy or Stand up and move. Dance! Sing! Speak and Share in the performance!
Tribe1 has toured the United States and abroad. Our members wear many hats. We are community activists, conflict resolution consultants, educators as well as singers, poets and drummers. In addition to concerts, Tribe1 is able to offer workshops on topics as diverse as "Drumming: learning to listen within and without & to "Creative and Spontaneous Use of Difference and Conflict."
