EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the rhythmic essence of a Sierra Leonean village in West Africa during the 1920s. The image portrays a lively scene of native men gathered around a central hut, their focus intently fixed on the tom-toms they are beating in unison. The drums, made of hollowed-out logs with animal skins stretched over them, hang from tall, wooden posts. The men, dressed in simple loincloths, beat the drums with their bare hands, their bodies swaying in time with the music. The huts in the background, constructed from straw and grass, add to the primitive yet beautiful setting. The scene exudes a sense of community and tradition, as the men come together to create music that resonates deeply within their culture. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history and heritage of Sierra Leone, showcasing the unique and vibrant rhythm of its people.
