RAYAN RAWDRUM
Rayan Aridi is a multi-instrumentalist in the drums and percussion realm.
Drawing inspiration from his Lebanese Arabic roots, he specialises in cultural music from the Middle East, India, Africa, Latin America and beyond. Rayan is a well-seasoned touring artist – stage, studio & street performances are his stock and trade. An enthusiastic and generous teacher, he loves sharing his broad knowledge with new students.
Tribalism: Student Performance
Tribalism is a celebration where our Melbourne drumming students come together to share their music.
Djembe and Middle Eastern percussion classes take the stage, playing what they’ve been learning for friends, family, and the community.
The event brings together the best of grassroots drumming and dance from across Melbourne, featuring a mix of student performances, guest musicians, and plenty of energy. It concludes with a big jam, where everyone joins in for one final burst of music.
