This week we had a special member Johnny who came from the business Rhythm Interrogative's. He came today to teach us using drum beats and music about an amazing phrase full of inspiration "Together we can make a change". Instead of saying the exact words we said a translation of the African word " O yaka umba yeah". We had a fun session full of repeating the beats of the drum using a djembe one per person. We then learnt about a back story of what I think is cool and interesting. The story was short but had alot of meaning. It was about a owl who challenged the monkey to make a tribe of drummers to stop the railway being made in their home "Jungle". In the end we had the chance to answer questions and win a drum for our school we also learnt the meaning behind the djembe drum. The meaning is ( Joy and happiness. We had alot of fun and we really appreciate the time and effort put into this visit.
