SheBoom

8-member post-menopausal women's Brazilian percussion and vocal ensemble.
SheBoom began in January, 2010 as a Brazilian drumming class that was meant to last four weeks. Four weeks turned into a few months, then stretched out over the summer and beyond. We meet once a week to compose, practice, and learn new rhythms and beats from our teacher, master Brazilian drummer Marcus Santos. Sheboom includes Janet Axelrod (surdo), Lesley Bannatyne (surdo), Candyce Dostert (conga), Lisa Doyle (snare), Janine Fay (agogo), Deb Pacini (snare), Julie Schneider (repique), Adria Steinberg (surdo).
