The initiator of the festival said the platform will give female drummers across the globe opportunities to express themselves to a world in dire need of unity and peace, adding that the 3-day event will attract participants from twenty countries.

‘WFDF is an iconic global platform for Female Drummers from across the world to express themselves to a world in dire need of Unity and Peace. This event will be the world’s first gathering of Female Drummers in one country, on one stage!’, she said

Penpushing further reports that, Ara who is a member of the Penpushing platform, and arm of the media organisation noted that, the world is passing through a most precarious phase in its tumultuous transition to a new age, stressing that, the role of women in the needed effort to save our planet from the precipice is deep and multi-dimensional.

‘Our importance as co-workers in the perpetuation of Planet Earth deserves artistic expression through the profound power of Drum, to be projected from the depth of the ageless soul of the diverse cultures we represent as mothers, sisters, and daughters’, she added.

‘WFDF will deliver captivating and compelling messages of Unity and Peace in a 3-day long sequence of mind-blowing performances through the uncommon skills of talented women drawn from over 20 countries’.
