I had a friend who was a pretty good rock drummer and percussionist and who I used to often attend musical and political events with. He had an unkind and possibly offensive term for the less rhythmic members of drum circles: bongoloids. There's probably a good case for the democratic regulation of such things at movement events. When it's done well and at appropriate times some beats are really effective. Many progressive marches in northern NSW where I used to live were given extra omph by a large red-clad percussion group with the marvellous name The Sambablistas. ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: Marxism@greenhouse.economics.utah.edu Set your options at: http://greenhouse.economics.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
