African Drumming and Dance

This two-DVD set is an introduction to African culture through dance, music, songs, and clothing.  Students participate in an exciting performance, gaining exposure to several African languages, rhythms, songs, and customs, while developing an appreciation for the culture.  In addition to their value in the music classroom, these two 25-minute DVDs would also provide a good introduction to African music in social studies and history classes.  A useful study guide is included.
