The djembe drums, percussion box, and the boomwackers will enable my students to be fully immersed in a cultural study of the dynamics and techniques of African storytelling. African storytelling is the only modern example of primitive theatre in the world. The cultures of Zimbabwe, Ghana, and the Republic of Congo are the key countries focused upon within this cultural study. Students learn the dancing techniques, but have struggled with the music part due to lack of proper instruments. Students are not able to fully learn the role of the Griot in African culture. A griot is the history keeper for many African cultures.
