Elements of Rhythm: Water 💧

Planet Earth, 27.03.23

The natural world is dominated by rhythm – from the daily back-and-forth bounce of the tides, to the intricate swing of birdsong. Humans are, of course, part of the natural world. Taking inspiration from the elements, this four part series explores drumming and percussion from around the world.

This episode, inspired by water, explores human drumming and percussion styles at their most intimately attuned to nature - from rattles made from dried fruit and plants, to Liquindi water drumming.
