Starting the year off with a
bang, Meredith College and
Campus Activities Board

band would then come to
Meredith to perform. Sister

their hits in the early 1990’s,

Lift: acoustic renditions.

MIA Sponsors Rythmicity

On a sultry southern Sun
day afternoon the sound of
drums filled the courtyard
behind Johnson Hall. The
Meredith International As
sociation (MIA) was hosting
a performance by the group
Rhythmicity, who plays tra
ditional, Afiican, Afro-Cu-
ban music and more. The
two women and five men
that make up Rhythmicity,
seemed to be very much a
part of the music they were
playing. They took visual
and verbal cues from each
other as to how and when to
end each piece or when to
switch instruments.
Conga dnmis were the more
familiar of the many percus
sion instruments found on
stage. Along side them were
several African Djembe
drums as well as other native
percussion instruments in
cluding the bongo drum and
an African Shekere, a hol
lowed out gourd surround
ed by a beaded mesh that
sotmds like a large maraca
when played. In contract
to the percussion sounds of
Rhythmicity was the softer
sound of the Native Ai^ieri-
can Oliver Cane Flute plityed
by Michael Sanderson.
Rhythmicity was bom from
a percussionist group that
meets every other Monday at
Lake Johnson Park known as
the Raleigh Drum Circle. Its
members, Tom Everly, Lynn
Fitzgerald, Erica Lineberry,
David McDowell, Andrew
Munger, Andrew Pulley and
Michael Sanderson are all
lifelong musicians and enjoy
laying a variety of instru
ments. Michael Sanderson
is the newest member of the
group and has participated in
several cd recordings as well
as composing music for the
group Sapien.
