will get together in San Jose Downtown to drum
traditional West Africa rhythms to honor the tradition
of unity and community love. We dedicate our celebration
for the children of the World.
We are also honoring the Kone Family
of Mali / Burkina Faso for carrying the traditions
of West African drumming from Africa to Asia,
Europe and the US.
The Kone children are gifted with musical talents.
The celebration led by Master Drummer Mamadou
Kone will connect us to the root of his family
culture and the heart beat of the children (and
many more!) you see in the picture. We will also
celebrate the birthday of his daugther Rokia who
will turn 4 on this day of Unity Drum!

About One World Beat:
On March 19 2005 we are bringing together people
around the world to send out a message of peace
and unity: Drumming in One World Beat!
The vision:
Our vision is to unite people in different
places around the world simultaneously in one
hour of drumming in unity. The world has become
a true global village and - more than ever before
- we are connected with each other. Through the
new technologies and the global impact of events,
our lives are linked together - we are dependent
on each other, what affects one affects us all,
and each of us can make a difference for the better.
One World Beat uses the power of music to create
a positive message of solidarity and we want to
invite you to join us.
Participate in this worldwide project:
We are inviting non-profit organizations, youth
organizations, peace organizations, drum and percussion
schools, musicians, bands, individuals and volunteers
to join this global event. The project is coordinated
by the non-profit organization One World Beat
and our aim is to unite as many people as possible.
All the participating groups, events and partners
will be listed on the One World Beat website.
Date: March 19 2005 - one hour
of simultaneous drumming around the world.
