Drum Circle Video

I thought this YouTube video partnered well with the material we're reading. From the first subtitle declaring that "Rhythm is a language" to the last stating that 'The hand drum has an extraordinary and consistent ability to create states of euphoria, induce light trance, promote play, release anger, and promote feelings of community and unity," this rings true to the power of drum circles and general percussive abilities. It effectively surmises what I feel during our seminar, and I hope it speaks to everybody else the way it spoke to me.

  1. Zoe, I embedded the video for you. Everyone else, you can do this by clicking on the little movie icon in the toolbar, selecting the YouTube option (if you are using a YouTube video), searching with the URL of the video, and then selecting the video you want.

    You can also get the embed code from the YouTube page (click on "share") and put it in after selecting html editing code.

    Not sure what all that meant? Don't worry!

    Be happy!

  2. "promote feelings of community and unity." Seems to go right along with with Babatunde Olatunji was saying about how music works to create a sense of togetherness between people of all different backgrounds.
    A neat video with a relateable message.
