Hmm – first one is interesting. Not much on ‘natural’ drums? I’m hearing a lot of artificial materials. Nice, but no cigar. If you are going to use unnatural drums, use something more interesting.
The belly dancer dancing Santana, well… DAMN – I wish I could move like that. She got a little too frenetic toward the end, but all in all, a masterful performance. If you aren’t a hetero female or a gay male, I suspect you’ll have a reaction (and if you are a hetero female or a gay male, you will too – and it will be mine above “DAMN – I wish I could move like that”) 😉

The drums are tablas. Origin India. I have been a follower of that kind of drumming since the 60s. My son plays very infrequently. And there is a very good player from Chicago who visits our town from time to time.
A friend of my son’s – Satya – is good and he played in high school. He is now a pharmacist.

The ladies? I’m glad there are cultures that value such things. Although with the Islamic crazies putting a stop to it as much as they can…..
