Book Description

The title Drumbeat is rooted in the African culture of using the drum as a voice and a means of communication. Drums are among the most important percussion instruments in African culture, and the sound of the drum, the time it is played, and the rhythm played will vary according to the occasion. The rhythm of the drumbeat is meant to reach and move the entire community. Songs accompanying the drumbeat are usually composed in simple language, understandable and even familiar to the community. This collection has drawn its character from the drumbeat, both in rhythm and the ability to resonate and address complex matters in simple, familiar language.
