Transformation and Drumming with Emma Garau
Manage episode 375277854 series 3493432
Emma Garau is a trans woman that has been able to face difficult challenges in discovering her identity, find confidence, and maintain her integrity in no small part thanks to the art of drumming. She is an artist that expresses the complex emotions and trials of life through different musical styles, namely punk and jazz.
I highly recommend checking out her live performances in her band, ¿WATCHES?
