Steemit Open Mic 142
I met with some drumming friends the other night and they agreed we should drum a rhythm and see if there is a place on #openmic for what we do. This rhythm is called Funga and is known to be a welcoming rhythm. It was originally brought to USA in the fifties when Babatunde Olantunji arrived from Nigeria on a scholarship to Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia. He brought the African drums to America. I'm not going to say much about him now because his story deserves a special post if not several.
