Thank you so much for introducing me to Jane thru this wonderful presentation. I started studying the frame drum 4 years ago and it is truly changing my life!
It is very interesting what she says about rhythm. I never liked western classical music, even though I am from central Europe and have been to hundreds of classical concerts. Years ago I started to listen to oriental classical music and it was instant love. I felt like this is home. I have been listening to different styles, I absolutely love Indian classical music too, the veena and other instruments. In Indian classical music the purity of the music is very important, as well as the state and purity of the player who gives life to the sound. I believe that electric, electronic instruments, music is just as disempowering like banning women from playing drums. I would be interested in a profound presentation which explores the difference between natural and digital/electronic music..
the image where you see three women at minute 1:20 they are Mapuche women (Chile and Argentina) whose drums represent their cosmovision. The drawing of the kultrún (the name given to the drum) points to the four cardinal points and is different for each machi (medicine woman). Its interior contains magical objects that help and protect the machi during her work. Thank you very much for your valuable video. Blessings
Some questions to Jane. How do we know what ancient rhythms actually looked like? Is there any documented evidence of uneven beats and their purposes? It can be assumed that the music went after the rites (which can be uneven as well as even, so the beats could) but that's just a hypothesis according to what we see nowadays in the traditional music that lives on. But how do we know that the odd rhythms aren't just modern and existed b.c.? As far as I know there're still no written notations discovered. Or maybe you've come across something up do date recently?

Does she ever play the drum with her hands here?
