Rap & Cajon drum assembly at J.H.S 157 Queens

Updated: Mar 26

Had a blast leading a Rap & Cajon drum assembly at J.H.S 157 in Queens NYC. 500 enthusiastic 7th graders gathered to explore the 3 building blocks of rap (rhymes, rhythm & breath control) as well as a brief history of the cajon, an African Peruvian percussion instrument.
