I think we all agreed that this is why we love drumming so much. High tempo, high energy and beautiful movement is what these events are all about, bringing an uplifting fusion between rhythm and dance that always leaves me wanting more.
What an amazing night we had last night at the community gardens on Mount Vic. Nimba (the group I perform with) was asked to drum along with an African dance class that was being held there. I think what really made this so special was the enthusiasm Monica brought to the whole event. The room was full and everyone soon got into the groove mirroring Monica's dance movement and energy. After a few tempo increases we all got into the grove and went through the dances start to finish.
