@@Vyacheslavvvv Sure. Humans as a species evolved first in Africa. And the things we define as culture: language, singing, dancing, drumming, clothing, jewellery, weaving, drawing, cave painting, pottery, architecture, religion, science etc began in Africa. Of course, as Homo sapiens. Homo neanderthalensis and other species left Africa they took skills and knowledge with them and further developed culture as they went. Different areas they settled in had different resources, and this heavily influenced how cultures developed - their diets, the materials they used for building or clothes, whether they were seafaring or not … Political organisation was also highly influenced by geography. For example, Europe has many mountains which separated groups from each other, giving rise to many different languages and nations, while China is relatively flat with long rivers, permitting more trade, connections and uniformity. Also, in areas with abundant resources (eg. tropics) people tended to be more co-operative and laid back, while in colder or drier regions, groups tended to become more competitive. BTW if you happen to be in the US, the Met Museum in NYC has an exhibition on now ‘The African origin of civilization’ which may interest you.

Amazing!! The children are clapping in 6/8 on the first tune. They get it.
@maysunsband9 ай бұрын
No but what's so interesting is they're not. There's a 3/2 polyrhythm going on. The band is playing to a 3 feel (which you could categorize as 6/8 but shouldn't because the drummer and bass are playing complete units in the span of 3 pulses, so it's really 3/4) - but they are stamping their feet (and the kids are clapping) to a feel that fits 2 claps in that same space. So band plays in 3, kids clap in 2. For me, and I think a lot of American / European musicians, it's a groove that I can definitely enjoy but might have trouble dancing/clapping to! For folks raised in a West African or North African musical context (it happens alot in Morocco Gnawa music as well), this is a fundamental groove. I think what's coolest is that the 3 lays down the fundamental beats, and the 2 is actually the pattern that creates the groove by riffing off the foundation in a syncopated fashion. So what these kids are intuitively engaging with is the more interesting of the two options! Not trying to be annoying or rude, just saw your comment and it made me want to discuss.

The talent is off the charts here, from the song writing to the playing and singing. As a hobby drummer, I am blown away by this guy laying down the beats with such precision. We never ask What missing ride cymbal? or What missing floor tom? This guy rules his beloved kit with complete presence. He is, heart and soul, a fantastic drummer. I know the young lad in the front row at 13:50 feels the very same.
