This is at a traditional African drumming show in Gambia my first night. Basically there style is that they come out, and start slow, just smiling and playing in a free-flowing freestyle kind of way that just looks like they are warming up, practicing; but by the end of the set it reaches a fever pitch, with the drums pounding at full speed, and somebody dancing intensely with dreadlocks flying to the beat.. until a feeling of euphoria comes over the crowd.
