Drumbeat II-3D
As a child, being up close to the performance was a beautiful and thrilling experience. You could literally feel the drumbeats and the wind created by the dancers fans. Everyone moved in unison to the rhythm of the drum, guided by the conductor’s voice, which led the singers into the next verse. The conductor, holding his dance stick adorned with beautiful figurines, kept perfect rhythm.
I could hear “Apasugaq” Augustine Heavy leading the drumming, singing, and dancing. His strong voice, half-singing and half-talking, rose above everyone, reminiscent of blues or rock and roll. The entire group moved vigorously as one.
