At births, initiations, weddings, funerals, celebrations, and in preparation for battle , the drums are used. In Africa, when you hear drumming in the distance, you know there is something happening, and your curiosity is awakened, your pulse speeds up.
The
effect of the drumming is a synchronization of energy, a unity and a common
purpose. When you hear the rhythm of the group drumming and contribute your
beat, you are listening and playing , receptive and creative at the same time.
So today, Drum Cafe brings this powerful African method to the ISSA2002 conference.
We will provide each
person with a drum, teach them how to play, how to listen to each other and
within 15 minutes they will be making music. We will then facilitate a 1 1/2
hour drum circle that will leave you all energised and exhilarated.
Interactive drumming is a cutting edge psychological tool used effectively in
the corporate environment for stress release, group bonding, team building,
synchronising of thought processes and breaking down of racial, cultural, gender
and age barriers.
Africa is the drum continent of the world. Experience the drum beat of Africa at ISSA2002.
