“You all really rocked it last night. One Tribe has taken it up several notches and still climbing. People that never heard you before were coming up and asking how did we find you and when can we get you back.”

“THANK YOU for playing at my family reunion. Your performance was very upbeat and entertaining. Everybody was still talking about it on Monday! I hope I will be able to see you all perform again. I will definitely keep you all on my list of great performances!!”

“The drum circle’s session was outstanding. One only needed to see the smiles and concentration of all who attended from those 96 years old to those younger. The leaders were able to make the workshop accessible to all and kept us all engaged throughout.”

Thank you for performing at the Arbor Day Festival. You helped make it a community event. People danced, hooped and shared in the rhythm you created. We will be in touch for next year!

Thank you so much!

One Tribe is a gathering of sounds and rhythms, energy and togetherness. What started off as a side project from local Raleigh gatherings has now taken shape into a journey of musical exploration. Creating not only traditional rhythms, but extending out into multi-cultural and original landscapes.
