It came from deep inside me. Growing quickly outward and upward into my chest. Pressure. Like something trying to get out. Then the tears. Not flowing, just lingering on my lids. I could barely breathe. Not once, but twice within 15 minutes. Death? Ecstasy? Neither. A primeval, genetic response probably. But what could cause such a deep and awe-inspiring sensation? God? A heart attack? No, it was a stunning performance of the TCC African Drum and Dance Ensemble. Unbelievable power in the pulsing rhythm and the harmony of many drums. I was within ten feet of the group and I swear I have never heard anything so powerful. It spoke to the deepest level of human history. If you ever get a chance to experience this group, do it. I suspect you will be changed in ways you won’t see coming.
