Imagine the ocean as a giant percussion instrument. Join us next Sunday am with #mentalheathswims Harambee Pasadia on Slope beach and help make some watery beats!

And what a special experience that was! Making music in and out of the water with the most lovely people and Hannabiell s Mum! 💕 I just want to do it again! Harambee Pasadia #mentalhealthswims colabsunderland ExploreSeaScapes

Stories can be told through the rhythm of the waves and the percussion of marine wildlife through our interaction with the ocean and our coastline. Our community project Sea Beats with Harambee Pasadia invites you to consider the musicality of our coastline. 📸 Colin Davison

Co/Lab Sunderland brings together research and creativity. So, with @TyneToTees and #SeaBeats research took place in the form of creative sessions with coastal communities. Exploring with Harambee Pasadia what the coast means to us & how it can inspire music-making.

Hannabiell Sanders of Harambee Pasadia talks about how #SeaBeats gives everyone interested in making music a chance to collaborate, gather together at the coast & be inspired to think differently about rhythm, sounds, music, the ocean and coastline. Part of ExploreSeaScapes.
