BSC drumline—Birmingham-Southern students and staff received hands-on instruction on authentic African instruments while shaking to rhythms during a Jan. 9 Interim term activity. The two-hour class “Harmonious Drumming: The Art of Drumming as it Pertains to African Society” was led by Atu Murray of Birmingham. Murray lived in West Africa for several years studying drumming and traditional West African culture. He performs and teaches students how to play African drums in and around the Birmingham area. The class is just one of numerous special activities planned for the campus community during the college’s January Interim term, during which students explore one topic or interest.
