A tribute to percussionist, artist, filmmaker Kevin O'Meara featuring Colla Parte: Daniel Barbeiro on double bass, Rich O'Meara on vibes and percussion, and Perry Conticchio on reeds and flute.

All donations to go to the Eastern Woodlands Rematriation project (https://whyhunger.org/ewrematriation).

Colla Parte is the ensemble of bassist Daniel Barbiero, marimbist Rich O’Meara, saxophonist Perry Conticchio, and also featured the late Kevin O’Meara, on drums.

Kevin O’Meara was a drummer and artist, based in Baltimore, Maryland, who performed in 21 countries. His most visible work was with the Dan Deacon Ensemble, appearing both in the live setting and on the recordings “Bromst” and “America.” Kevin spent much time as an active member of the music and artistic communities of Washington DC and Baltimore, but has also resided in West Virginia, Hawaii, and Maine. This performance is presented in his memory.

The Eastern Woodland Rematriation Collective is a Massachusetts-based whose collective purpose is to mobilize folk at the grassroots level to decolonize our current food, economic, and political systems and reconnect spiritually, mentally, and physically to the natural systems of which we belong.
