Alessandra Belloni and Daughters of Cybele

Celebrate Women's History Month with Internationlaly renowned Singer Percussionist and Cathedral Artist in Residence, Alessandra Belloni and her new Women Ensemble, Daughters of Cybele, Women Drummers for World Peace.

Countries around the world, including Southern Italy, Brazil, Africa and the Middle East have musical traditions based on the power of women.  Belloni and Company will emulate one of the most ancient ways of praying and healing, including sacred chanting to the Black Madonna sung by female voices in harmony, accompanied by various percussion instruments (frama drums, tambourines, shakers, djembes, ballaphones, dumbecks, riqqs, mazhars, and marimbas.)  Dancers will spin and stomp their feet in celebration of life and peace with the healing trance dance of the Tarantella.


With "Daughters of Cybele," Alessandra Belloni carries on the tradition of Roman priestesses who played the tamboruine in worship od Dionysus, god of ectasy and wine, and the Earth goddess Cybele.
