Drums of the Earth

An international formation that took the streets of Amsterdam in the mid eighties with original founding brothers Gregory and Jeff Forster, Arubian born Ash, Sion, and Ablas Solo from Burkina Faso.

Drums of the Earth are still a gathering of drum lovers who chant to give thanks and praise the most High.

With smaller to larger setups, in current days the acoustic group accompanies private and public events in and around the city of Amsterdam.

Drums of the Earth

is a place to discover Amsterdam’s dynamic and forward-thinking art scene.

Artist and architect Ola Hassanain intertwines family history with the materiality and temporality of water and clay. For this manifestation, Hassanain shares her ongoing visual research into the spatial implications of catastrophes. In this provocation the artist zooms in on an intimate ‘site of catastrophe’: her grandmother’s house.
