Farther down the steps were these African drummers.  The lead drummer is in the white tee shirt.  He was incredibly talented. afrique3.jpg (49081 bytes)
After a moment, the white guy who plays the trap set (i.e., not hand drums, but drums like Tom's) joined them. afrique4.jpg (74704 bytes)
After a while they took a break, and the lead drummer moved over to the steps, where he takes up a large gourd type of percussion instrument -- we don't know what it was exactly, but it sounded like it had seeds inside and it has a long wooden stem. afrique5.jpg (50976 bytes)
This appeared to be a group of students, a couple of whom were probably American.   They were singing and playing some kind of primitive native American or African folk songs.  Very catchy. studentgroup.jpg (51746 bytes)
