    A powerful and revoluntionary a cappella piece followed by a drum salute played on the Sakara and Sangba Drums, traditional West African Drums. This piece derives standing ovations, every time it is played. The audience becomes enthralled in the live presentation. We invite them to dance with us as we each dance and salute the driving force and healing power of the drums.

    Story Behind the Song

    Lyrics
    WE ARE WOMEN AND WE PLAY DRUMS


    Don’t let them tell you “You can’t play”
    Don’t let them tell you go away
    Just watch as we take you higher
    We’ll make the drums your desire

    And we play drums, we are women and we play drums
    And we play drums, we are women and we play drums

    Take a stick or play with your hand
    You do not have to be a man
    Put all that you have into it
    Just look, just look at us do it

    And we play drums, we are women and we play drums
    And we play drums, we are women and we play drums

    Women can envoke the spirit
    By striking the drum, you hear it
    The Voices of Africa bring
    The rhythms that make your heart sing

    And we play drums, we are women and we play drums
    And we play drums, we are women and we play drums

    (humming, 8 count)

    And we play drums, we are women and we play drums
    And we play drums, we are women and we play drums
