What are the traditional African cultures?

First of all, the most noteworthy is the African drum.

Africa is a famous land of singing and dancing. Since ancient times, various musical cultures have prevailed and have strong national characteristics. Music is the best way to explore African culture, and drum is the most important window and the soul of African music, and it is known as the "king of African music". Percussion is the oldest instrument in the world, and African tambourine is the most representative percussion instrument. It originated from the Mali Dynasty established by Gimanding people in the13rd century, and spread to the Middle East and other parts of the world through the ancient trade road of the Nile River in Egypt.

Drum is the most popular musical instrument in Africa. Among all kinds of drums in Africa, the most commonly used one is a medium-sized drum called Damdam, which is usually put between the legs and beaten by hand, and the performance is often very impromptu. As soon as you set foot on this hot land of Africa, you can hear the drums.

Apart from music, African tambourine is sometimes used as a symbol of a nation, tribe or religion, or to convey various information, that is, the so-called "talking drum".

Followed by African woodcarving.

African sculpture has had a far-reaching impact on modern art in the world. Maybe you haven't been to Africa, but the exaggerated, deformed and abstract artistic shapes of African wood carvings and bronze carvings will definitely arouse your reverie about Africa. On the African continent, which is permeated with strong religious flavor, African sculpture art has a long history. It is mysterious and obscure. Europeans crossed the ocean and plundered the African continent. African sculpture art immediately flooded private collection room, national museums and art markets in Europe.

Three: Africa's unparalleled iron fist.

A passage about Africans impressed me deeply: African brains are not used for thinking, but for coping. The above passage, though somewhat biased, reflects a living habit of Africans. What impressed me the most was Ghana. In Ghana, you must not be surprised by the following two things: first, sell a shoe on the street, because they can sell anything anytime, anywhere; Another thing is that if you give him an apple, he may hit his head right away. In the bustling downtown, I look at all kinds of things on my head and walk freely and leisurely. Many people don't hold hands or shake things on their heads. They used to worry about African women selling eggs in the street, but it turns out that our worries are always so redundant.
