RE: Bumbac the calypso drum

in #music6 years ago

I would occasionally listen to beats from this genre. It never crossed my thought how deep its origins can be. It reminds me of the origins of Jazz since there are similarities on how these music genre got established. Beyond the trivia of the drums, I'm interested in how learning how to play them has encouraged more programs for human development.

I'm glad there are programs out there that cater to the less fortunate and help them learn stuff which they could draw in some additional income or keep them off from bad habits. In my country, teaching kids how to play sports or play instruments have helped produce some livelihood.

hello friend, the origin of all the afordescending rhythms are the same. african slaves brought to america brought with them part of their cultural identity which gave birth to the different musical rhythms in america.

If the musical education program is very good, it helps the progress of all and enriches the culture. @adamada
