I took my daughter back to school yesterday and she talked me into coming to her West African Dance Class before I left for home. These musicians played for almost 2 straight hours....I do not know how their arms didn't fall off...but they were pretty awesome. Go here to read more about the class.
il ne nous manque que le son. cela devait être sympathique comme soirée
ReplyDeleteWe need just the sound. This should be as nice evening
Interesting, only one of them looks remotely African.

I am a fan of Track and Field and at the international meets in Europe there are often a group of west african drummers to are pounding out their music while their countrymen and women are teaching the world what long distance running is all about.
ReplyDeleteWhew...2 hours....that's a long time to be pounding out music.
ReplyDeleteThey probably practice all the time. It reminds me of the Japanese Taiko drummers who stand and drum for hours. I get tired just watching them.
ReplyDeleteNice shot. Must be lovely to hear it!
ReplyDeleteHi Neva,
ReplyDeleteI just wonder if the WEST African music differs from the Sot African music, I like the S-AFr music . We have been there also, Ds you and your daughter liked those music? Just let me know!
Greetings:)
