This is the music that set off my passion with drums 30+ years ago. It's call Junkanoo. We were in the Bahamas for an evening of awards and accolades with about 300 others. Everyone was dressed in gowns and Tuxedos and the evening was going along normal for such an occasion until the cultural entertainment came through the double doors with a blast of drums, conk shells and toy horns playing wonderful high energy pounding rhythms. I started bouncing in my seat. I tried stay in a proper lady-like mode but my body would not be still. After a few minutes the gentleman next to me who was part of top management started bouncing with me and soon everyone around our table of 10 was on their feet bouncing with the next table to follow. Within 10 minutes all 300 people were up dancing, laughing and making conga lines around the great ball room. My body felt like pure joy, if that's possible to understand. I don't know how else to explain it.
