The music that unites us

Hello, here continues the filming of the documentary with our brothers in Senegal.

The cultural exchange has been very enriching and I am happy with the work we have done.

Senegal and Venezuela are countries that have bought history, more than 300 years after the beat of the drums, they unite us and let us know that their ancestors stayed here.

The music they brought from Africa and kept as part of their roots, they transmitted it from generation to generation and today when they play the drums they speak in the same code, without speaking the same language.

The drums came to this continent along with the Black ships full of Africans who were kidnapped and put up for sale as slaves, the drumming remained a form of expression of their roots.

Never did the Spanish slavers think of the future consequences of their actions in bringing Africans to the American continent by making them stronger.

The repique de los tambores is the result of the syncretism of all the suffering that enslaved Africans could have.

The drums in Venezuela rumble from East to West, it is in the center of the country where this culture is even more richly entrenched in the states of Miranda and Aragua.

With festivities like San Juan Bautistas and the Parranda de San Pedro

They have been days of hard work, but with a lot of satisfaction, since we have managed to capture what we were looking for. Days full of emotions, laughter and lots of music which is the university language.

Thank you for reading
