Girls cannot be drummers. Long ago on an island filled with music, no one
questioned that rule--until the drum dream girl. In her city of drumbeats, she
dreamed of pounding tall congas and tapping small bong s. She had to keep quiet.
She had to practice in secret. But when at last her dream-bright music was
heard, everyone sang and danced and decided that both girls and boys should be
free to drum and dream.
Inspired by the childhood of Millo Castro Zaldarriaga, a Chinese-African-Cuban
girl who broke Cuba's traditional taboo against female drummers, Drum Dream Girl
tells an inspiring true story for dreamers everywhere.
