Afrikumba Utibe Drummers is a group of four drummers that are from Trinidad and Tobago and have played in both their home country and the United States. Their music gives a glimpse of the fast pace styles of the Caribbean. Often times, these drummers would blend in a series of different styles from other places in the Caribbean in order to make the piece that is very fast paced and in some cases, can be danced to.

 

 

 

 

In the excerpt above, you can listen to the different percussion instruments that are being used to drive the beat. While there is a series of repeated sounds, the music seems rather fresh because the beat is constantly being propelled. This piece was recorded in Union Square and these drummers play there often.
