“Rhythms of Africa”
Rhythms of Africa, a Knight Arts grantee, is a documentary film produced by SteadyImage and Solutions in Music. The film takes the viewer on a historical, geographical and musical litany of rhythms captured on camera.
The hour-long documentary follows percussionist and former Third World drummer William Stewart “as he works with musically inexperienced children from inner cities to bring out their natural musical talents.” It showcases the creation of harmony, promotes the restorative power of the arts and, most importantly, empowers youth through music.
Solutions in Music, a collaborator on the production of the film, seeks to use the film as a platform to advance world harmony “by reducing stress levels on a magnitude through the cumulative nature of corporate organizations, large groups and gatherings and also individual resonation of music…through the rhythmic beat of drumming.”
