I joined Samba Elegua for the Walk for
Hunger fundraiser at Coronation Park. It was a lot of fun picking up
the beat from other people. The kids were absolutely adorable,
inventing all sorts of dance sequences on the fly.

We had a picnic lunch afterwards, and then we jammed for a while. It's
interesting hanging out with people who just can't help drumming
rhythms on whatever's handy – sticks, cups, roofs, posts. My
background isn't musical, but I like mimicking and amplifying other
people. I'm learning slowly. =)

Now it's back to my research…
