I agree with the first person who replied....you likely felt the pain of our female ancestors that were never granted the joy of being drummers in many areas of Africa, even still to this day. Maybe you also feel their astonishment and awe that is is now appreciated in some areas.

Enrico Sanna I think she was disgusted by white folks doing that, not the practice itself. It's in the nature of white people to want to intrude in other peoples' traditions and ceremonies.

@bircruz555 9 жыл бұрын

+mano a mano People mean well, be White or whatever. The audience you see are probably tourists. You can imagine how mesmerized they are, and if they feel they can be part of it even in a small way, they will not shy away. It is human nature. The drummers make as decent a living as possible pursuing their love and keeping the heritage alive. It is a win win situation. In any case, this is not one of the instances to berate white people for. BTW whites are not a monolithic block any more than blacks are. I would not paint with a wide brush.

This speaks to the full-range of the human soul. Powerful, black, african women - I have never been so impressed and humbled. Riddims well and truly in the pocket - that goes without saying. Woman coming into view at 2:40 is incredible...just ashame about the philistine tourists poking money at them and ruining the flow.

Dear Hervinbalfour, thank you for your comments. Believe me, I claim no deep knowledge of African music, instruments, or the cultural history behind their varied forms. I just happened upon that specific video while surfing music videos on youtube one evening and was impressed by the female drummers (not knowing the cultural traditions connected to the Djembe drums). Again thanks for spreading your knowledge.

yes to your comments on technique and skill - and it's terrific exercise, too. I am in far better physical shape than I was a few months ago, when I first started taking lessons and studying this music. It's not about bulky muscles, it's about stamina and overall conditioning. This is a wonderful "side" benefit to the music/dance itself.

@HellsHord 12 жыл бұрын

you are right im an african drummer and it is traditional for drummers to have money stuffed in their drum straps or thrown on stage while they're performing often this is how they get paid for their performance the better the music the more money is thrown.

@TheBlackWombmanIsGod yeah I guess you're right, Africans created Gregorian chant. I must of forgot all of my music history. Thanks for reminding me that it was those African monasteries in the middle of central Europe in 10th century. I always thought that classical music evolved from Christian church music, but silly me. I guess my 20 years of playing classical piano and my music degree didn't teach me anything.

It seems to me these days that there is far, far more racism in Africa than there is in North America. Skin color does NOT matter, it's soul and vibrance and energy that matters and anyone who can judge an entire being based on color is ignorant. These women are AMAZING, I've never seen anything like it! I love it :)
