FamJams are designed for young music lovers and a primary caretaker to explore singing, moving, playing and creating together in a small group setting. All sessions integrate hand percussion and time is allowed for exploration and Q&A. Selected repertoire emphasizes positive vibrations drawn from the Crescent City soundscape, the African diaspora and other global soundstreams.
