There's a story about a British man who went to Nigeria to learn to play the bata drums (the ones we use in Cuba mostly) and after several years he managed to master the technique. He went back to Africa and met one of the elders in one of the villages he visited and the old gentleman invited the Brit to play with them. The Brit was enthusiastic about it until he was asked how long he'd been playing for. He said for many years, mor ethan ten, and the elder laughed heartily and asked him: yes, sure you can play them, but can you make them talk? The Brit remained silent. You see, the power of the drum lies also in the conversation it establishes with the singer(s) and the dancer(s). Your photos were magnificent and the ambiance was great. Many thanks.<br /><br />Greetings from London.A Cuban In Londonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16423293358605007539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-688566251618947246.post-57500227704211828652009-05-12T19:46:00.000-07:002009-05-12T19:46:00.000-07:00That's great you get to be a part of the drum sess...That's great you get to be a part of the drum session! <br />And yes, your lovely smile says it all!What About The Girl?https://www.blogger.com/profile/00551227929697269183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-688566251618947246.post-59319420113402957712009-05-12T19:30:00.000-07:002009-05-12T19:30:00.000-07:00Hi Lala,
