Africa is known for their use and love for music and dance. They have made music for thousands of years, and it has been a part of who they are. One of the most important instraments used in African music is the drum, which is usually played with sticks or by hand. The drums throughout history have been a means of communication and have been passed down from generation to generation throughout history. Music has always been apart of African culture and their daily lives. Music has been used as a means of communication during religious or war times. And during story telling and celebrations. Singing in African music is also very important. One of the more known and unique ways of seeing is the "call and response", which is when one individual sings a phrase and a groud responds. This technique is still used today. Music will and always has been one of the most moving and inspiration aspects of African life. There is no doubt in my mind that music will never fade in their culture.
