African drums
Every single child in the class room is given a chance to do some drumming. Most probably they will have their own drum on which they are taught various African rhythms with unusual but rather amazing grooves. At the end of the session they all demonstrate what they have learnt by performing for each other in a circle. The sizzling beats combine with the essential components of stamping, sliding dance foot steps of movement and create a high energy atmosphere.You can see the smiles on children's faces.The artist will explain what these sounds are used for and how stories in African villages are told using these drums. East Africa is a rich area with lots of rivers and mountains, tropical rainforests and magical creatures. This form of awareness through drumming is very educating and informative .
