Quiahuitl is a self-taught percussionist and educator. You can catch her jamming the night away as part of El Tambo that play every Friday at Congress. We talked about how she got into the art form. Her love and hate about it. Even took a couple of unexpected turns into history of the music along with education and their really enticing perspective of what learning should be like. It was a worth while conversation, hope you enjoy!

Please if you can donate to help Quiahuitl fund her trip to Brazil, anything helps - https://www.gofundme.com/drumstudybrasil
