This is probably why my Grandad, with his limited knowledge of the world (bless him) used to call countries like these "Bongo Bongo" land. Then immediately we'd here my mum saying,
"Dad, you can't say that, it's so Racist" lol
I've always liked the dancing and the drums, I must admit!

Lol, your grandad must have been a funny man. Some cultures and continents have drums, others don't so I suppose that's why we associate these instruments with different cultures.
When I looked at these instruments at the museum, I was thinking of Africa as that's what we see in documentaries. Then I had a look at the description and saw they came from Israel, Egypt, Bolivia, Chile and China :)
Australia too (I think!) Aboriginal culture is very tribal too!
Grandad was the best. Like a second dad to me, albeit racist as hell. He was in the war fighting in Africa. So err, yeah, enough said lol
