Today was the first of a conference I'm attending in Montevideo The theme: "Music between Africa and the Americas." The final event this evening was a discussion of the three traditional toques (rhythms) associated with city's historic neighborhoods.
But I'm posting a video tonight, and that's all folks. It's from the conference. A few of the drummers playing were from the group in the first video I posted from Uruguay. The lowest drum of that cuerda, called piano, it takes hold. It has my heart when it speaks.
I plan to write more on the conference in the coming week, but tonight I'm tired. For those of you who watch and listen, I hope you're able to experience just a little of la fuerza del tambor.
