[QUOTE="hark, post: 831623, member: 13196"] Thanks. It is absolutely incredible to watch. The drums played a variety of rhythms which changed based on whatever dance they performed. The conch shell and that long thing added sounds. Plus someone played a reed or wooden flute type of instrument a few times. I'm sure whatever was burning had significance, but they didn't explain anything they did. They simply moved from one dance to the next. If someone wasn't involved in a dance, they circulated making sure others had water and fruit. What really surprised me is that none one of them used cell phones during the time they weren't dancing. Instead, all of them were focused on the celebration/ceremony. And that was mind blowing because they came from a number of different areas locally as well as further away – this wasn't just one 'group' of people.
