An energetic rural African (possibly Luo) woman musician plays two traditional bongo drums. Wearing colorful traditional African handprint, home-crafted, cotton dress, she energetically pounds the drums with her hands to produce the typical three-beat African rhythm. Traditional music is an important and integral part of east African culture performed at many festive ceremonies, religious events, and political rallies.
