Music and Dance

Dance, music, and story-telling are among the ancient art forms that have flourished for many centuries in Africa. Music and dance are terms that we will use to denote musical practices of African people. Ancient African society did not separate their every day life activities from their music and other cultural experience. 


     When a big group of people get together playing hand drums and other percussion instruments in a circle is called a drum circle. These drum circles can range from a handful of people to thousands of participants. Drum circles offer equality because there's no head or tail and includes all ages. The main objective is to get together and share rhythm. Dancing can take place at these. Dancing and Music is very important to African cultures because these two acts tell stories from centuries ago, convey news that's around in the village, and teach.
