a day in the house of solomon

He pays all the bills, takes care of the kids, and shows up daily… but she says he lacks ambition.
Is that enough — or not? :eyes::fire:

My favorite drum was always the Odondo or Talking Drum from West Africa. This drum is special because it can mimic the tone of the human voice. Historically, it was used to communicate between different villages across long distances. Once in America, the Dondo and many other drums were used along with chants and dances to send messages. African drums were even banned during slavery out of fear that message might've been sent to start rebellions. I always wondered what our ancestors were trying to say with those drums. I imagine they made the drums scream and cry for Africa. I know they wanted to go home so bad. The sound of the drums reached far, but not far enough to reach all the way back to the motherland. What if there were African drums back then with sophisticated sound technology that would allow them to be heard across continents? Maybe they could have called to home and home would have heard and responded. What would those drums look like? If anyone has more information on the talking drum and the importance of the drum in Black culture and tradition please feel free to share with us.
