Traditional Drumming

Hire our traditional drumming services and feel the heartbeat of the land

Witness the power and rhythm of Dene drumming, echoing across the wilderness, lakefront, or indoor gatherings. Our Traditional Drumming experience is more than just a performance, but a living cultural expression passed down through generations. Deeply spiritual and profoundly moving, our Dene drumming connects you to the land, the people, and the stories that have shaped the North for centuries. Our drumming performances are done by local Dene drummers and singers, and the performance is often accompanied by cultural storytelling and knowledge-sharing. Whether you are hiring us as a corporation, non-profit, or community organization, the drumming experience we deliver for you will leave a lasting impression on your audience.

What to expect:

Authentic Voices: Our traditional drumming performances are performed by members of Yellowknives Dene First Nation, who have lived and practiced these traditions their entire lives.
Rooted in Tradition: Our drumbeat and songs represents the heartbeat of Mother Earth and is central to many Dene ceremonies and teachings. We also ensure to always share the cultural background, purpose, and teachings associated with each song, offering a more meaningful and educational experience.
Flexible Options: While available as part of our Aurora Viewing and Dene Cultural Tours, a longer version of our traditional drumming services can also be delivered as a standalone performance at schools, public events, or private functions.
Customizable Service: Our traditional drumming performances are available all year round, across all seasons. Our performance typically lasts for 30 – 120 minutes and can be delivered at your desired venue/location. Our rates vary by group-size, format, and the location of the performance.
