      hmmm, to be honest: we germans don´t have too much drummig and percussion in our traditional cultural heritage, but during the last century we learned a lot from other cultures and adapted many nice things - due to the modern facilities there has been a great exchange worldwide and i personally love this a lot!
      one of the things i liked, is that after the appearance of the nigerian superstar king sunny adé in german tv in 1983 we had a wave of african bands coming over to germany and i saw countless of them perform live and they were all excellent musicians, singers and dancers...
      and i love the net for providing us with sweet stuff from all around the globe!!!

      I totally agree with you on that one brotha Pablo Figueroa. Drums are like languages. And they speak a language all their own. When we learn to drum we are learning the language of the percussion. Just like a guitar player a keyboard player flute harps so on and so forth. Music itself is a language. Reading notes to play the proper tones. This rumba is rich with history and when playing rumba shares a culture all into itself. I am a djembe drummer it took me 35 years to get where I am and I still have way too much to learn which is the fun part for me every African rhythm I learn and practice is like learning a language of each country of the continent of Africa. Bless brotha man always for sharing this comment

    There is hope for the human species. This is not just three guys hitting some drums and making noise. This is a true dialogue between three different humans beings, with different styles, different perspectives, and surely different backgrounds. But they are able to put all that aside and have a dialogue, listen to each other, respect each other voices and without a doubt, bring some joy to this convulsive world. We could have better societies if we follow examples like this.

    The English took away the hand drum from blacks in the States, thing the Spaniards didn't do in the Caribean and South America. Watching this video makes me tear up. Love to see African Americans drumming away like they always did for generations before.

    The disinterest from siss in the scarf and glasses in the background, is level 10. To ignore audio and visual stimulus that close by, that staunchly, requires super hero levels of defiant concentration. When soulful meets soulless!!

    I like how the woman in the back was annoyed, looked like she didn’t want nothing to do with loud noises and then accepted it and embraced the beat of the drum and really laughed when the guy said: all good things must come to an end. They actually put a smile on her annoyed looking face if you think about it. That woman maybe needed that after having a bad week/month/day. All it takes is one thing to help someone else out to keep believing in society- one act of kindness can save a soul.
