DrumTalk is a four-day celebration of world drumming traditions coming to Pittsburgh CAPA High School Pittsburgh Oct 16-19, 2008. The festival consists of public concerts and master classes presented by drumming and dance artists representing music traditions from Africa, Asia, Brazil, and the Mediterranean. This year’s festival features international roster of master drummers and dancers including Four-time Grammy winner Glen Velez and Pittsburgh jazz legend Roger Humphries. In addition, DrumTalk 08 artists will present three matinee concerts for over one thousand Pittsburgh Public School students on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.
