LACSOrganic - DJEMBE, SHEA BUTTER, HEALING OILS AND BLACK SOAPS

I can't think of a culture on the planet that doesn't have a drumming tradition. People from all walks of life have enjoyed the benefits of drumming throughout the ages. The universal language of music has the power to transform and to erase the boundaries of gender, age, nationality, race and language.

At first, I tick-tacked along, trying not to mess anyone up with my two left hands. But soon, the voices of the djembe were all I could hear....
