One Sunny day on a Sunday I was walking through the African jungle. When i saw a guy sitting by the lions his name was "Zacamoco". "Hi" I said, "Hello kid, would you like to learn about the African Culture?", "Of course i said".

The very first thing we talked about was African dance and music. Here is what he told me. Early attempts at African music was made by T . E. Bowditch in 1819 for Ggahana, Karl Mauch in 1872, Zimbabwe and Bbrito Ccapelo and Rrobert Ivens in 1882.

Africans perform religious songs at rituals.Sometimes the people make the African music for recreation or just to relax. Folk music was created by the Voortekkers. Voortekers are decedents of dutch settlers in this area that is Africa. For their music used for the concentria which is very close to being like the instrument such an accordion.

Africans have a lot of musical instruments for example like the pericussion,string, and winged instruments. This wide variety of instruments comes and go's from region to region in Africa.

Next Zacamoco told me about the different elements of music such as Brazilian Samba, Jamacan Reggea, Mambo, Cuban Son,Salsa, and Afrocubism.

The next day I was going to look for Zacamoco again because after he told me about his wonderful African Music and Afrocubism. I thought is was amazing so I wanted him to teach me about African Arts and cultural film/movies .So I went searching around the African Jungle to find the man. I had finally stopped to find him sitting on a bench in the hot sun. Then I ask " Excuse me Zacamoco, are you alright sitting in the sun, could you please tell me about African arts and films."
