The second event in the series Music on the Move features a presentation by the project Drummers Without Borders and Francisco Morales, sound artist and curator of the Front Gallery. Showcasing artists whose work and practice are informed by border dynamics, we present important perspectives on how music and performance play a role in reshaping the border narrative. Drummers Without Borders (DWB) was formed in San Diego, CA, in 2004 by Felix Diaz, Silvio Diaz, and Abril Diaz, a family of musicians, educators, and artists. It began as a program introducing music to students with special needs in one underserved elementary school. Felix, Silvio, and Abril taught the students how to drum to help establish feelings of accomplishment. Through the years, DWB gained experience, evolved, and grew to incorporate students and the public of all ages in the therapeutic practice of drumming. Drummers Without Borders’ mission is to develop music projects to address gaps in education, community building, health, and the environment stretching beyond San Diego. DWB’s welcomes collaboration with individuals and organizations of similar interests. They hope their expertise can create a better world for future generations.
