Talking About African Drums

December 9th, 2008

It is a great homage to appreciate the stuff your home is made of.  By home, I’m talking about Africa being my ancestral.  I’m a third-generation black American so my ancestors were originally from there.  It’s a long way coming from me since I’ve never visited Africa again since the first and last one 15 years ago.  So whenever something about Africa, I try to put a keen interest on it. Recently, a friend has told me that their band talked about African drums.  This got me interested so I researched a little bit about it.  Sure enough, African drums are not merely tribal instruments.  They have greatly influenced world pop music through their unique beat.
