If there were only one African instrument that could define African music, that instrument would have to be a percussion instrument. Percussion is the ground of being for almost all African music. The original aim of African music was to both aid the community in everyday affairs and bring the people together for meetings and ritual events. Therefore, in African music, participation is essential, and, because percussion is most easily relatable to all members of the community, the percussion section became the centerpiece. This article outlines the more common types of African percussion instruments.
