Can you send me the interpretations of those awesome songs? I am trying to understand all that there is of african music and its orgins and how to finish my cantata that I am composing entitled, "Ode to the African-American, op.128". There is no doubt that drums and percussions are constantly in african music and cannot be african without them. Thanks for posting your awesome perfomances!
