We’re excited to be added to the lineup of workshops at ChantLanta 2013! The 4th annual Chantlanta Sacred Music Festival is a charity benefit, this year supporting The Learning Tea, an organization that provides educational opportunities for girls in India. The headlining events at Chantlanta are kirtan and a workshop with Krishna Das, tickets for which are going fast so get ‘em now. The rest of the programs at ChantLanta are free and open to all! DrumRise will do a 1-hour TaKeTiNa teaser Saturday, March 9 at 3:15pm.
TaKeTiNa has much in common with kirtan, a form of devotional call/response chant rooted in India’s Bhakti tradition. ChantLanta says of kirtan that it “blurs the line between performers and spectators, uniting all in loving consciousness. We connect not only with each other and our immediate community, but the greater spiritual community: family, neighbors, teachers, students, and ultimately, our planet.”
TaKeTiNa is also a community experience using call and response chanting and singing that activates a feeling of deep universal connection. Yet unlike kirtan, TaKeTiNa is not of any particular cultural tradition but rather draws on fundamental elements of music, rhythm, and community that are shared across many cultures. The syllables spoken and sung do not have any discursive meaning; they are used as a tool for the voice to guide the body into into a physical experience of ancient rhythm archetypes.
While too short to be a true TaKeTiNa workshop, our teaser at ChantLanta will offer a taste of what the TaKeTiNa rhythm process is like, and a glimpse of how rhythm can be a vehicle for a deeply meditative experience that is at once personal and communal!

Join us for a full weekend immersion in rhythm! Experience how the sounds of TaKeTiNa – the deep boom of the surdo drum, the harmonized chanting and singing of the community, and the droning pitch of the berimbau stay with you overnight. As the rhythmic process continues to reverberate in your nervous system during sleep, you’ll be prepared to enjoy exploring even further on a meditative journey on the second day!
