In the course of thousands of years, mankind has evolved into numerous distinct cultures all over the world. All of these cultures have developed their own ancient customs in which rhythm and dance have always played an important role, reflecting the rich history of these cultures. Many rhythms were unique to individual tribes and their specific part of the world from where they originated, areas such as Africa, the Pacific Nations, Asia, the Caribbean, Native America, South America, Persia, and the Celtic Area (such as Ireland). Up to this day, many different rhythms can be related specifically to one certain geographical region culture, or even to one tribe. All of these different cultures had one thing in common: They all developed their own sophisticated system of rhythms, instruments, and dances as a fundamental force in their rites, in which the sound of a drum was considered as the heartbeat of mother earth. Hundreds of years later in times of sailors and discoverers, those customs were transported all over the world and the different rhythms were shared with other cultures. That created the first real a€aWorld Musica€? which combined rhythms and musical styles of many different nationalities. Soon, the rhythms started to take on new developments because of new ideas from other cultures being incorporated into the traditional rites and rhythms. A development began which continues to this day. Today, hundreds of years later, there are no boundaries anymore. We have the unique opportunity to live this variety to its fullest.
