Atfore

Last nite under an African full moon, I was able to participate in something as old as humans- Drumming. Wow! within an hour our group of overachieving intellectual type-A yuppies were drumming together! It was incredible.

We started at dusk, under a fiery red sky. Slowly as the drumming become more synchronized, the light changed from red sunset to full moon. It was so primal. It was like watching (or being?) a herding dog who has never seen a sheep. We know how to drum we just have to find it in us. Natural.

Our group was part of a Butterfield and Robinson tour of South Africa (lots and lots more on that later!) but our drumming facilitators, Drumming South Africa, do all kinds of events. Too bad they are not in California!
