The idea of the Diversity Band bloomed as Austin and Pune established a Sister City relationship. The drums we use (Dhol) are an integral part of the Pune culture. The band plays different traditional Indian folk music, creates a fusion by integrating drums from different parts of the world cultures.
Our team is made up of musicians from different ethnic backgrounds. The Diversity Band provides participation opportunities to folks from different age groups (from middle school to adults). Band performances also showcase diversity in various aspects.
Diversity Band is a volunteer led organization. Our Volunteers represent a vast cross section of humanity and foster the belongingness via the common language of music
