This morning we met one of the most prominent traditional folk orchestras in all of Africa. This group has done many shows in the US and Europe. It was a lot of fun. We learned about the different drums and the way they were used for communication. Still are. We then got to play them with their instruction. We also got a dancing lesson in traditional folk dance. I was nervous about this at first, because we all know how much rythm I have. But it ended up being a lot of fun. We were taught some foot work and hand motions and then we did it all together in a moving circle. Here are some pictures and videos.
