Gullah

In the first video she was teaching the children about the music culture. She was attempting to continue the traditions of the music culture. In some respects you could say the the preservation of the music culture itself is a portion of the culture. Furthermore she focused on the importance of rhythm in the music culture. She also stated that another important aspect was the celebration within the culture. So self preservation, rhythm, and celebration are major aspects of the culture. They used drums heavily which makes sense in a rhythm heavy culture. There seems also a focus on freedom from slavery intrinsic within the music culture. Both videos contained speeches on the impact slavery had on the culture and how freedom is essential in this music culture.
