A Nyabingi Celebration

December 1st - 3rd, 2014

Although Jamaica is known for the body moving form of music known as reggae, it's roots, and possibly the root of all music can be traced back to early man's drumming. There are still types of drumming that cannot have changed much since humans first stretched a piece of animal hide over a wooden cylinder, be it a hollow tree stump or a carved bowl. A modern form of this ancient rythym is called Nyabingi drumming. This hypnotic beat can help to connect you with your inner self as it mimicks the heartbeat and science has proved it can stimulate brainwaves. Not bad, it only took mankind 15,000 years to prove something that was instinctively known by our ancestors!
