  • African Drumming in Drum Circles by Robert J
    African Drumming in Drum Circles By Robert J. Damm Although there is a clear distinction between African drum ensembles that learn a repertoire of traditional dance rhythms of West Africa and a drum circle that plays primarily freestyle, in-the-moment music, there are times when it might be valuable to share African drumming concepts in a drum circle. In his 2011 Percussive Notes article “Interactive Drumming: Using the power of rhythm to unite and inspire,” Kalani defined drum circles, drum ensembles, and drum classes. Drum circles are “improvisational experiences, aimed at having fun in an inclusive setting. They don’t require of the participants any specific musical knowledge or skills, and the music is co-created in the moment. The main idea is that anyone is free to join and express himself or herself in any way that positively contributes to the music.” By contrast, drum classes are “a means to learn musical skills. The goal is to develop one’s drumming skills in order to enhance one’s enjoyment and appreciation of music. Students often start with classes and then move on to join ensembles, thereby further developing their skills.” Drum ensembles are “often organized around specific musical genres, such as contemporary or folkloric music of a specific culture” (Kalani, p. 72). Robert Damm: It may be beneficial for a drum circle facilitator to introduce elements of African music for the sake of enhancing the musical skills, cultural knowledge, and social experience of the participants. PERCUSSIVE NOTES 8 JULY 2017 PERCUSSIVE NOTES 9 JULY 2017 cknowledging these distinctions, it may be beneficial for a drum circle facilitator to introduce elements of African music (culturally specific rhythms, processes, and concepts) for the sake of enhancing the musi- cal skills, cultural knowledge, and social experience Aof the participants in a drum circle.

Building a Relationship with Percussion Instruments Bill Matney, Kalani Das, & Michael Marcionetti Materials used with permission by Sarsen Publishing and Kalani Das, 2017 Building a relationship with percussion instruments Going somewhere new can be exciting; it might also be a little intimidating or cause some anxiety. If I go to a party where I don’t know anybody except the person who invited me, how do I get to know anyone else? My host will probably be gracious enough to introduce me to others at the party. I will get to know their name, where they are from, and what they commonly do for work and play. In turn, they will get to know the same about me. We may decide to continue our relationship by learning more about each other and doing things together. As music therapy students, we develop relationships with music instruments. We begin by learning instrument names, and by getting to know a little about the instrument. We continue our relationship by learning technique and by playing music with them! Through our experiences and growth, we will be able to help clients develop their own relationships with instruments and music, and therefore be able to 1 strengthen the therapeutic process.

  • Cajón 1 Cajón
    Cajón 1 Cajón A cajón (Spanish pronunciation: [kaˈxon], "crate," "drawer," or "box") is a box-shaped percussion instrument originally from Peru, played by slapping the front face (generally thin plywood) with the hands. Origins and evolution The cajón is the most widely used Afro-Peruvian musical instrument since the late 18th century.[1] Slaves of west and central African origin in the Americas, specifically Peru, are considered to be the source of the cajón drum; though the instrument is common in musical performance throughout the Americas. The cajón was most likely developed in coastal Peru during the early 19th century or before,[1] where it is associated with several Afro-Peruvian genres. The instrument reached a peak in popularity by 1850, and by the end of the 19th century cajón players were experimenting with the design of the instrument by bending some of the planks in the cajón's body to alter the instrument's patterns of sound vibration.[1] Knowing that the cajón comes from slave musicians in the Spanish Modified cajón; traditional cajones have the hole at the colonial Americas, there are two complementary origin theories back, opposite the tapa for the instrument. It is possible that the drum is a direct descendant of a number of boxlike musical instruments from west and central Africa, especially Angola, and the Antilles. These instruments were adapted by Peruvian slaves from the Spanish shipping crates at their disposal.[2] In port cities like Matanzas, Cuba they used cod-fish shipping crates. Elsewhere, small dresser drawers became instruments. Another theory posits that slaves simply used boxes as musical instruments to combat contemporary Spanish colonial bans on music in predominantly African areas.[3] In this way, cajóns could easily be disguised as seats or stools, thus avoiding identification as musical instruments.

  • Ethnic Hand Drums
    3RFS eTALK February 2007 — Page 1 of 1 Uncommon Instruments Played by Groups we Love, Part I . — Percussion It’s in the Beat. Edited by Harry {doc} Babad Now I’m sure that you, as I’ve done many times, wonder at the strange instruments that folks play, as listed on their CDs. Ignoring oddities like spoons or Jimmy Dancers, I’ve become interested in instruments of percussion of African, South American, Baltic, pan-Arabic, Persian, and other mid-eastern origins. The many unusual string instruments of ethnic origin whose sounds are so different from the more ubiquitous guitar, banjo, and mandolins in contemporary use have also attracted me. Or I wondered, when attending a renaissance faire, what those musicians are doing with those weird looking, at times un-amplified, instruments from which they coax such great sounds. If you live in the Tri-Cities, check out Ye Merrie Greenwood Faire, June 30 th and July 1 st in Howard Amon Park. Marjorie books some great musical performers, and the Elizabethan era (1558–1603) was one of the earliest for folk music. [http://greenwood_players.home.comcast.net/%5D /.] Most of today’s dumbness about the differences in hand drums used in percussion became apparent while checking out the instruments played by Balkan, Celtic and Nautical groups whose CDs I own. I recently got my new Lark in the Morning [LIM] catalog [ http://LarkintheMorning.com ], and checked their website which contains some great articles, and of course photos, of the quality instruments they sell. A bit of the material in the LIM articles helped serve as a source of information for this article.

Many jazz musicians have utilized West African music in their musical compositions. Blakey, Lateef and Weston were not the first musicians to do so, however they were chosen for this dissertation because their experiences, influences, and music clearly illustrate the importance that West African culture has played in the lives of African American jazz musicians. Born during the Harlem Renaissance each of these musicians was influenced by the political views and concepts that predominated African American culture at that time.
