...Earth Beat offers a smorgasbord of beats and sounds...forming a unity, losing inhibitions and giving oneself over to the liberating effect of the pulsating rhythms.

Dear Rosemarie,
Thank you for your exciting and uplifting performance and opening our show at the Long Island Music Awards. Sanga did not

Dear Earth Beat ....
I really enjoyed your "Power of One Concert". So much talent on one stage and locally too. Thank you especially for the Young Blood Singers, it is not often we get the opportunity to see our Native American Brothers do their thing, and they were wonderful. My heart is still humming from the night.

Thank you Earth Beat and Rosemarie. Your 9th anniversary of your (Last Friday of the Month Tribal) Jam was the best yet. How do you do it? We were dancing out of our skin with all those drums and you and John and then Sanga's performance and everyone else who added to the night. Incredible! We have never had such experiences in all our years of drumming, and we have traveled far and wide to drum . Thanks for bring this community to our area.
One Love,
John and Nancy Everett

Dear Rosemarie...
Your Earth Beat performance at Heckscher Park and the festival through the streets led by you and Sanga was as thrilling as it gets! When are you coming back - my drum is ready for the next one!

Rosemarie -
Baba's energy is like the high priest - his presence transcends me. I thought I had seen it all with your concerts, but the night with Baba at the Centerport Planetarium was the highlight of my existence! I even got to speak with him after wards as he signed my album. A night I will never forget.
Thanks for bringing me home to the drum.

Dear Rosemarie,
Well I must say that our annual Holiday party was quite a unique one due to your energy and the energy of the amazing african drum. Sanga is superb and together you are a dynamic duo. Actually your entire group was outstanding, John, Olympia and Ade? - I am still moving to the sounds of your performance!
Many Thanks!

Hey Guys - Your boat trip was beyond my wildest dreams. Drumming with Sanga and you guys into ecstatic trance on a boat under the full moon on The Great South Bay...does it get any better? When's your next one?
Peace out,

Rosemarie Ceraso, Rip, Heidi McClure, all of this Group and their amazing spirits giving us African Music and dance, another world opened to me... I get choked up when i remember the day Edgar Mills, my to be Partner...,was invited to play with EarthBeat, and from this discovered we might actually be able to be in a relationship together with the icing on the cake of being able to participate together in our same interests. Down in that Inner Light Center, that's where EarthBeat woke up
my body's soul and atomical awareness...
