 Sha
Sha is a Light Visions collaborator who
creates our wonderful percussion Drum Circles.
Sha, born in Belfast, N.Ireland, returned
to his home town in May 1999 after 5 years
of drum travels in the Americas, from the
Canary Islands, through Jamaica, California
and Mexico. Along the way he played in many
drum circles, ceremonies and performances,
including the famous drum circle in Golden
Gate Park in 1995 for Jerry Garcia, with
Babatunde Olatunji.
Upon his return, Sha instigated free drum
circles on a Sunday afternoon and started
his mission of sharing the drum circle with
his community in N.Ireland as a metaphor
for peace and reconcilation.
In 2000, Sha invited drummer Mr Arthur
Hull to Belfast, who was on his Remo European
Tour, and together they facilitated a number
of events, including a circle at the Stormont
Government Buildings. Sha then attended
the VM Hawaii Training Programmes two years
running, a Remo Health Rhythms Programme
and Unity with a Beat, and went on to spread
drum circles throughout Ireland, including
at The Special Olympics 2003, and as a part-time
Tutor in The Institute of Life-Long Learning,
Queens University, Belfast.
More recently Sha is facilitating and playing
in Ibiza, Spain, including at renowned club
night Manumission, in private villas and
on the pre-party boat trips around the beaches
of Ibiza.
