"African Dance": #2: Dundunba Community African Drum and Dance party in Guinea, West Africa

Like the Native Americans African Drumming and dance goes hand and hand. The difference is: Native Americans hit one drum, while each african drummer beats his own . The african dancers seem more liberated than the Natve Americans who dance in a constricted circle...well...constricted in comparison.

  1. I like the video and I also like how you connected the African drummers to the Native Americans. It defintely makes learning more interesting. I think it is neat to point out common characteristics of each culture. It seems sort of amazing how people can live so far apart but have so many similarities.

  2. And I love that an ad for the "Fred Astaire Dance Studio" popped up while I was watching this video!
