  • In this talk-performance hybrid, drummer, percussionist and TED Fellow Kasiva Mutua shares how she's breaking the taboo against female drummers in Kenya -- and her mission to teach the significance and importance of the drum to young boys, women and girls. "Women can be custodians of culture, too," Mutua says.

    To me this is an extremely rare perfomance: this is the first time i see a woman playing the drums all by herself on a stage. It's a great, great show and i hope to see it more and more frequently.

    Me watching these 2021 , I love this video so much because I can relate, I recently lost my beloved best friend , ever since than I have been depressed and became a lost soul, Njembe drumming changed my life , as I drum I turn to forget everything , and just be my self and express my self.

      Did you know that Africa is in Africa and because of racism the maps of Africa make it look smaller than it is . It's called cartographical racism. It oppresses black maps of African descent.

    Well TED to be perfectly honest, in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking into this matter in a different perspective and without being condemning of one's view's and by trying to make it objectified, and by considering each and every one's valid opinion, I honestly believe that
    I completely forgot

    “Todo es música para un corazón de músico, todo lo que vibra y se mueve, y se agita y palpita; los días de estío llenos de sol, las noches en que el viento silva, la luz que se difunde, el titilar de las estrellas, las tempestades, los cantos de los pájaros, los zumbidos de los insectos, los estremecimientos de los árboles, las voces queridas o detestadas, los ruidos familiares del hogar, de la puerta que rechina de la sangre que hincha las arterias en el silencio de la noche, todo lo que és, es música; no se trata más que de escucharla” ( Romain Rolland).

    @IIVVBlues Před 5 lety

    In her local tribal culture, it may have been taboo for women to play the drum, but not as a general rule. In the ancient Mediterranean civilizations including northern Africa, the drum was primarily played by women. The frame drum in particular is shown in many surviving drawings and carvings as being the domain of women. Men may have made the drums, but primarily women played them.
    Her preamble was interesting, but she gave a very modern, not a traditional, percussion performance.

      @aaronrosenberg6633 Před 6 lety +16

      "Men playing a drum more often is NOT OPPRESSION."
      See how you twisted that around? She did not say what you said. What she implied was that women have historically been banned from playing the drums.
      "I swear that feminists are running out of things to complain about. what the heck"
      Develop an ounce of empathy. What the heck. Hers is a success story, overcoming traditional sexism. Did you not see her smiling, victorious? That must really bother you.

      Trust me African women are not allowed the privilege of instrument playing. And we are breaking from that. It is not feminism. We just want to enjoy producing rythm and melodies. And I am saying this because I a m a percussionist too and many times not accepted for ocassions and gigs just cause I'm a woman.

    • @sebastep
      @sebastep Před 6 lety

      Aaron Rosenberg Yeah, they pissed me off a while ago with a series of really stupid and dangerous talks. Like the one of the rape victim that was raped at 2 at night while walking alone in a shady location. She said she would never avoid this kind of situations because she was free to do whatever and it was the men's job not to rape. I mean yeah, of course, but you cannot eradicate crime. You must protect yourself within reason. She was encouraging women to not be afraid to do risky stuff like that.
