Meridian Park Drum Circle

We DCers seem to have been waiting for the warm weather for a while… maybe we have forgotten our north-​eastern and mid-​western roots… or, simply, everything is just better when it is warm…
so wander over to the Meridian Park on a Sunday afternoon and chill out listening to the drum cirlce… bring a frisbee, pack a picnic, pick up a washington post or city paper along the way, wear your dancing shoes…
the drum circle is where about 20+ drumers (bongos, congas, snares, cow bells, etc) come to jam in a neighborhood setting… its very impromptu and usually one of the drumers takes the lead
if you are lucky, you may find a guy leading a traditional african dance in which a bunch of people line up and follow along (thing the electric slide only a million times more symbolic, energetic and natural)
the crowd is super diverse… native dcers, people in the nieghborhood, sunday soccer players, and a handful of people just drawn to the sound that resonates off the the buildings around 14^th-​16^th streets and V street.
if anyone would like to teach me how to drum… i’ll gladly accept!
