DESCRIPTION:Dana Cafe: Praising the Natural World - Songs, Rhythms & Philosophy of 
 Regla De Ocha with Carolyn Brandy\n\nDana Cafe is a monthly gathering in 
 Oakland CA offering transformational teachings at no cost to participants. 
 Each month on first Sunday, we invite a different teacher from various arts 
 and healing traditions. Our monthly classes are offered for Dana (give as 
 you are able and inspired) and there is no set fee to attend.\n\nWe are so 
 happy to welcome Carolyn Brandy to lead the next Dana Cafe session, April 
 5th! Bring your drums & percussion instruments if you have them and if you 
 don't have a drum, bring and open mind, heart, your voice and your hands! 
 Join us as we explore the folklore, songs & philosophy of Regla De 
 Ocha.\n\nRegla De Ocha or Santeria is an indigenous spiritual practice 
 brought to Cuba during the Diaspora from the great civilization of the 
 Yoruba people of Nigeria. This philosophy has spread to the 4 corners of 
 the world because of its flexible, profound and beautiful understanding of 
 the dimension we live in.\n\nCarolyn Brandy is a percussionist, composer, 
 performer, educator, and Cultural Worker. She started playing the Conga 
 Drums in 1968, and has been a pioneer in opening doors for women in the 
 male-dominated world of percussion. A drummer and student of Cuban 
 folkloric music for over 40 years, she has been a practitioner of the 
 Yoruba-based Cuban religion, Regla de Ocha, also known as Santeria, since 
 1977. She was initiated as a priest of the religion in Havana, Cuba by 
 Amelita Pedroso in 2000. She has led six tours to the Island of Cuba to 
 study Folkloric music and dance. She has organized workshops in Havana, 
 Matanzas, Cienfuegos, Camaguey, Santiago De Cuba, Guantanamo, and Baracoa 
 where the groups have studied with masters of Afro-Cuban Folkloric 
 music.\nwww.borntodrum.net www.womendrummers.org
