sing and dance



Africans love to sing and dance and it is quite pleasant when they all somehow harmonize so well together. the curators in one of the museums we visited explained that anyone can come up with a song, make their own lyrics and its becomes "their" song that is sung whenever they meet again.

this video that I took during mass is just proof how much singing and dancing is a part of African culture. the audio does not reflect how enjoyable it was to hear everyone singing because it was taken with my point and shoot. some songs had actions and it was quite the experience, unlike any other mass I have attended. just an example of how rhythm and music are so embedded into African culture.
