Washington, DC. The Malcolm X Drummers and Dancers performs on Friday, January 5, 2007 at the Potters House, 1658 Columbia RD NW in Washington, DC at 8.00pm. There is a suggested donation of $10.00.
The Malcolm X Drummers and Dancers are a group of tremendously talented artists that grew out of the cultural experience demonstrated at Malcolm X Park and is founded by Doc Powell. Drummers from all walks of life, and from every level of drumming abilities, other musicians of all varieties, and spectators of all nationalities and ages, come together and create a wonderful expression of creative energies. From this setting, arose a group of performing artists called the Malcolm X Drummers and Dancers.
Some of its company members are Donald Donga, King Baba James, Becky Umeh, Roberto Dominich, Dion Jacobs, Jaamin Tempo, Doc Powell, and Kombo Omolara.
Donald Donga, a Nigerian master dancer formerly with the National Troupe of
Nigeria, will bedazzle you with his unusual body distortions.
King Baba James, also, a Nigerian master dancer, and, also, formerly with the
National Troupe of Nigeria, will entertain you with his no-hand flips and
master dance personality.
Becky Umeh, Nigerian master dancer and mastersinger, will delight you with
her extraordinarily graceful movements and voice expressions.
Kombo Omolara, another Trinidadian, drummer, and master stilts walker, does
creative dancing while being suspended four feet in the air on stilts, and does
not miss a beat.
Roberto Dominich, master Cuban drummer, will challenge you to keep up with his incredible hand drumming speed.
Dion Jacobs, a native of Tobago and former student of Wayne Guerra
(Trinidadian master djembe drummer), will demonstrate his extensive knowledge of djembe drumming.
Jaamin Tempo was trained in classical music in Japan, plays 13 different instruments, and has performed with Little Royal and Gill Scott Heron. She is a singer, songwriter, and composer, and plays conga drums for the Malcolm X Drummers and Dancers.
Doc Powell, originally from Atlantic City NJ and one of the main coordinators
of the creative activities on those Sundays in Malcolm X Park, rounds out the
troupe and acts as the Music Director, producer, and lead drummer for the
Malcolm X Drummers and Dancers.
Some of our performance arenas are Market Five Gallery, The Martin Luther King Library, Wilson Senior High School, Riverside Baptist Church, Metro AME Church, The National Education Association, Union Temple Baptist Church, and Malcolm X Park.

Esther Productions, Inc. Relationship Building and Outreach Project of the National Daughter-Daddy Reunion Tour presents Bridge Work
Bridge Work, a part Esther Productions, Inc.'s National Daughter Daddy Reunion Tour Relationship Building and Outreach Project, is a free monthly support group for daughters who grew up or are growing up without the daily presence of their biological fathers. Daughters and dads who are trying to reconcile after being physically or emotionally absent from each other are also welcome to attend the event.

Esther Productions, Inc. is a nonprofit, tax-exempt corporation based in Washington, D.C. It is dedicated to serving under-served or unserved communities and to helping to restore families. The National Daughter-Daddy Reunion Tour is its signature project.
The National Daughter-Daddy Reunion Tour is a new advocacy and service model that provides the first ever focus in the fatherhood movement on the plight of fatherless daughters. It advocates on behalf of this population, which is estimated at over 30 million, by lobbying service providers and practitioners to design programs that respond to their needs. The Tour also advances a program that encourages the reconciliation of daughters and once-absent dads. And, the Tour seeks to inspire healthy, long lasting relationships and marriages for fatherless daughters by providing them the resources they need to overcome the adverse consequences of absence. It was launched in 2005 by Ms. Jonetta Rose Barras, founder of The National Daughter-Daddy Reunion Tour and President of Esther Productions, Inc.
Esther Productions, Inc.'s National Daughter Daddy Reunion Tour Relationship Building and Outreach Project is funded by generous contributions from D.C.
