The 2008 Young Women's Drumming Empowerment Project debuted its new members as the "Flii Beat Ladiez" this past September in four shows, "Rythmic Lyfe Explosion," that left audiences' mouths agape!
If you missed out, you've now got another chance to witness the power, inspiration, wisdom and talent these young women exude as they take the stage as the feature at this Monday's Guerrilla Poetry Insurgency, and as the closing act for the Green Festival on Nov. 8.
If you already saw us, come on back for more.
