Shannon Duarte
started drumming with the AZ Rhythm Connection a number of years ago. Shannon has an incredible knack for picking up any rhythm or groove quickly. Flip the switch from West African to Latin or any other style and Shannon is immediatley in the groove.

Shannon is also an accomplished djembe player. As a member of the AZ Rhythm Connection Performance Troupe, she serves as one of the lead facilitators and as one of the keepers of the beat the Ballet Djuns (pictured above). As a facilitator she has a natural and inviting style.
