You will hear and feel the resonance of primitive rhythm instruments from around the world. If you are even a little curious you will enjoy this recording from beginning to end!
You will learn about the origin of the Udu drum, find out why Kokopelli appears to have a hump on his back, how the first flute came to be and much, much more.

She is very upset with herself, but soon discovers that adversity can mean the discovery of a new sound; a musical sound!...
