Talk on Rhythm Culture by Nathaniel Combs
Rhythm culture is African drumming played at various festivals e.g African womens' festivals . It is also the traditional rhythm of music that is the glue for African people. The drums are Balafon, Djembe and Dundun.The Balafon is a large wooden xylophone.The Djembe is a drum that is held between the legs and played using the hands. The Dundun is the bass drum that is also played with the hands.
Nathaniel started drumming when he was aged
7 and has been drumming since. He spent time in Africa learning their
traditional drumming before returning to Australia and is teaching others his love of
drumming.
Nathaniel played the Balafon, then we were
invited to join in some traditional rhythm which was very energetic. He then
played the Djembe which was interesting to see him using his hands &
fingers to get a rhythm from this traditional drum. He was thanked for an interesting night; many of us are not going to take up
his offer of learning the energetic act of African rhythm.

NOW FOR SOMETHING DIFFERENT
A CAUTIONARY TALE FROM OUR MOTORING CORRESPONDENT
TAKE CARE CHOOSING YOUR PASSENGER
A police officer pulls over a speeding car.
The officer says, ' I clocked you at 120 km/h, sir.'
The driver says, 'Christ, officer I had it on cruise control at 100, perhaps your radar gun needs calibrating.'
Not looking up from her knitting the wife says: 'Now don't be silly dear, you know that this car doesn't have cruise control.'
As the officer writes out the ticket, the driver looks over at his wife and growls, 'Can't you please keep your mouth shut for once?'
The wife smiles demurely and says, 'You should be thankful your radar detector went off when it did.'
As the officer makes out the second ticket for the illegal radar detector unit, the man glowers at his wife and says through clenched teeth, 'Dear Lord woman, can't you keep your mouth shut?'
The officer frowns and says, 'And I notice that you're not wearing your seat belt, sir. That's an automatic $75 fine.'
The driver says, 'Yeah, well, you see officer, I had it on, but took it off when you pulled me over so that I could get my license out of my back pocket.'
The wife says, 'Now, dear, you know very well that you didn't have your seat belt on. You never wear your seat belt when you're driving.'
And as the police officer is writing out the third ticket the driver turns to his wife and barks, 'WHY DON'T SHUT UP?'
The officer looks over at the woman and asks, 'Does your husband always talk to you this way, Ma'am?'
I love this part......
'Only when he's pissed.'
