From student to leader — that’s the power of impact. We’re so proud of Tarami Readus, a past Young Fola Retreat attendee who took what he learned at the retreat and ran with it — expanding his knowledge, reconnecting with the drum, and now partnering with the City of Houston to launch a community showcase rooted in rhythm and culture. 🔥

THIS is what legacy looks like. When we nurture the next generation, they don’t just grow — they bloom and create space for others. We see you, Tarami! 💪🏾🪘🔥

Irían López notes that they way Añá was practiced in the 1980s is not the same now, and it’s not in the best way.

What happens to a community when they are faced with life or death? Where are the limits drawn for what is and is not acceptable, and who makes those calls?
