The Drum
African drummers play a very vital role
in the traditional African culture and all African ceremonies. Drums in African culture announce events. Different woods
are used to make drums, and it is believed that God is a part of all his creation, so the drums carry the spirit of the wood
from which they are made.
The Dancers
The dance has been a significant part of all rites, ceremonies, celebrations
and spiritual practices. They have been historically used to pay homage to God and the ancestors or to invoke the blessings
of other divinities. Above all, the dance is done in praise to the creator.
