Helen Bond is a dynamic percussionist, educator, and storyteller who captivates audiences with the joy, energy, and healing power of traditional West African hand drumming and songs.
Born to an Iranian father and an American mother, Helen’s lifelong passion for music drew her to Guinea, West Africa, where she immersed herself in the rich musical and spiritual traditions of the Malinke and Susu people and undertook intensive study with master drummers as well as with dancers and griots.
