In class this week we travel to Tahiti where we learn Tahitian rhythms by turning our drums on their sides and sharply slamming the frame to simulate a drum known as a “to’ere” (toe-wed-day) , a hollowed log piece of wood (usually “milo” wood). Accomplished Tahitian drummers like us hit the to’ere with a stick called a “ra’au.” they — we — hit the drum with one ra’au that makes a sharp sound on the wood.
We are revising the AllAroundThisWorld.com site — the information you’re seeking may still be here, but a lot of links are broken and details may be out of date. We are currently using a new (better!) site — ExploreEverywhere.com — to tell you all about our class offerings, our “pen pal” program and how to become one of our teachers, and will eventually be moving all the goodies from here over to there. So, GO TO THE NEW SITE!
