about

This original composition by Cephas Aban Nmai, owner of Seven Stars African Drumming, tells the traditional Ghanaian story of a Royal Family whose members play the honorary Obonu drums. As the royal family members walk among the community, playing their drums, their leader calls the common people to join them in drumming. Some community members join, but others refuse. In the future, those who have refused will 'Bend Down' before the royal family members, for having chosen not to join them when given the opportunity.
