tribal drumming
Indigenous rhythmic ceremony
Tribal drumming refers to percussion traditions rooted in indigenous or traditional cultures, characterized by rhythmic patterns played on hand drums or other percussion instruments, often in group settings.
The term appears in contexts ranging from ethnomusicology to New Age wellness practices: a tribal drumming circle at the retreat.
In casual use, it can describe any percussive music with a primal, communal feel.
