African Drumming in Trinidad and Tobago….Happy Emancipation!
Throughout the era of slavery, drums have been an integral part for the survival of the African slaves. Drum rhythms were used as a code, communicating messages that the slave owners couldn’t decode. Additionally, the rhythms would have even motivated them to pursue the hardship of labor. Moreover, their unique worship incorporated various type of drums for many reasons that were much more than entertainment.
As a result, the inclusion of the African drums in the emancipation celebration today, attest to its essential use and function during slavery in commemoration of their struggle.

You can recognize the drums and rhythm in other countries around the world, but especially in Bahia and Pernambuco, and now it's part of our DNA as well. Love from Brazil ❤️

Beautiful, thank you
Absolutely awesome. I love the fast driving tribal drums. And I loved the integration of the "modern" drum sets like the timbales, maracas and congas (I've never been able to find traditional African drums in my local music stores, but of course timbales, maracas and congas are super easy to find in stores nowadays).

Now this is a REAL “AFRICAN” drum circle… NOT all the other CULTURAL APPROPRIATIONS that you see with ✋🏻🤚🏻and most of them play like they’re one step from the grave .. .. OUT IF SINC! And the SADDEST part about so-call Professional African drummers from most African countries, they ALWAYS have/allow several ✋🏻🤚🏻in their drum circle when they should not be allowed as drummers only as SPECTATORS.. if that. We NEED to learn how to CELEBRATE our ANCESTORS and culture without having them✋🏻🤚🏻involved or in our ENERGY EXCHANGE with one another, they are there to vamp as much of our energy as WE allow them to appropriate…STOP IT!
Africa.yes
Oh Em Gee this is so awesome!
Awesome drumming! Dude in the middle there looks like "Mr T" - "Ah PITY da fool!" ;)

Wow! From this video I can really see where western drum lines took influence from this music. It’s incredibly technical, and they play it super clean with great dynamics. It also has more soul and a better feel than the western drum lines. So impressive! And I love to see the musicians smiling and enjoying themselves

What western drum lines are you speaking of? I hope you are not speaking of Americans, and ESPECIALLY BLACK Americans because we don't take from anyone. All other groups take from us. And SOUL is a black American invention. No group on the planet has more soul than black Americans. We created the concept and we are the best at it. Stay in your place. I'm tired of people taking from us and then rewriting history.
