6:36 Many of our people are so gifted with rhythm, he knew the tempo and how to compliment it as soon as he was given the shekere. Wow.

[@photoleando]

Watching it in 2024

[@TheGr8scott]

Its so funny when they just start having a casual conversation and waving to people without stopping the music.

[@jascam1]

Miles across the oceans from my African/Ghana roots but the drums always wake my ancestral spirits within.. Thanks, long live Africa..

[@aaaaaaoooommmm]

I love this, but I also love the taking a phone call at 1:21. How funny is that? I mean, you're surrounded by drums drumming! Too funny.

[@fugrawasoki4090]

[@drlohewitt1]

That is hilarious. How could he here the person calling? Do you know any other drum drumming videos like this?

[@unloved5600]

[@yyguuyg]

[@xl7131]

cell phone was a total showboat move haha, how you gona hear with all that drumming? haha love this, thank you, I hope to one day travel to Africa for the traditional music traditions (and by default food as well -- food & music are origin traditions of all humanity) that are the root to all music throughout the world today! Thanks for everyone who contributed to this video.

[@smk33321]

I've been wanting to learn African drumming for a long while now. I finally bought a djembe and was searching for videos to draw inspiration from. Good god, this video didn't just musically inspire me, it spiritually reminded me why I began drumming in the first place. There's so much tension in the drummer community "This guy is better than that guy!" -- I constantly see this on drumming videos. I think the world of drummers needs to watch, listen, and overall connect to a video like this in order to properly see why we all love to drum. It's a social, fun thing that can be uplifting and even infectious (as we see with the young man dancing).

[@TrancEndingMedia]

smk33321 drummers dont care about being better than other drummers. Takes away from the joy of playing together as equals

[@DarrylFranklin]

check out videos on my channel. recording stuff from lessons at Motherland Music

[@renebetancourtiii1456]

i completely agree. for me, it's just the rhytmn. a drum circle is where i discovered my love for drumming. its good to just play music and just drum especially due to the raw tribal nature. Good time for everybody!!

[@miceskin]

That guys pants are badass!

[@davestraubpropertieschrist1305]

indeed.

[@JudithGrominger]

YES!!!!!

[@kevinmathewson4272]

why is America so socially stiff, it sucks. wish people could relax. Wish I could relax. ... I think, ok these guys in Ghana are all on the same wavelength. In America you have so many backgrounds and religions and social classes and other stuff going on, nobody knows what to do. We don't know how to be a group. It stresses people out. As our culture matures, it will have to be very deep and complex to weave everyone into it, ours is not an easy story to make sense of. But, BUT, MAYBE some day we can all relax and play drums together on the corner. I say 'maybe' because any music nuanced enough to encapsulate America might also be too nuanced for some people to get. Our culture has to work its way there, baby steps, and the music will follow. I swear I'm a practical guy, I'm not like, trying to arrange crystals to attune everyone's cosmic energy. The video just got me thinking.

[@natashagreene6614]

Kevin Mathewson that is very insightful.

[@Nihilist_Porcupine]

Or maybe the solution is to remove the nuance from the music entirely, making it completely and obnoxiously frivolous, so that everyone can understand it. Clearly, JBeebz and co are leading us into a new and wonderous era of musical and cultural unity.

[@RetroAP]

I'm from Illinois and my old teacher would have drum circles with all kinds of drums and we'd play for hours

[@jedistayhi4876]

Wow, Kevin, this made me smile. Thankyou For Being. I so resonate this. I went downtown a while back and just jammed on my own. I was tomorrow's culture on the corner. You're a great person. Glad you dropped in for a lifetime....

[@deejannemeiurffnicht1791]

A bit of a gross generalization when you consider that New Orleans musicians in general play almost exactly as these guys play, especially when New orleans guys play their own take on boogie woogie, which this is almost identical to)

[@zivkovicable]

It's insulting to call this a "Drum Circle". This is a highly competent Drum Ensemble, not some stoners on a Californian beach.

This style isn't too far removed from what Americans would know as a New Orleans boogie-woogie style (think Little Richard, Fats Domino, Dr John, )
