Culturally Speaking, what is the significance of these drums.

Throughout many, many years, these drums have been used in sacred traditions as well as every day life. They are used to create the beats that we hear today as mimicked in the songs that we sing, or the beats that we create. As well, they can be used to tell when danger is coming someones way. They are also used to show emotion, show how one is feeling. Without these I truly feel that African culture would be different. The way that music and rhythm has impacted the culture into ways of expression through dance and music, has gotten the African Society through some extremely hard times. Without the use of these, I dont think it would have been the same case.
