Participatory Mu​sic Coalition

 Welcome To The Participatory Music Coalition

More than entertainment, participatory music is that which is meant to coordinate people, to bring them together into a community, to orient them all to a common purpose. We recognize the conjunction of music, dance, art, spirituality, ritual, and ceremony as the headwaters of the many Great Black Music traditions that have flowed from the South Side of Chicago throughout the United States, and across the globe. Whereas the 20th century saw this vital organism gradually dismembered by the machineries of the recording and entertainment industries, our project is to foster the  integrity and wholeness of music as THE HEALING FORCE OF THE UNIVERSE.
