02. The talking drums
Africa is the birthplace of “conscious communication”. That's where people have used the so called “talking drums” to ensure the communication both between distant people between different towns. The use of “talking drums” can be paralleled to the use of letters and even to the latter use of cell phones. Africans through “talking drums”, managed to transmit the news throughout the whole continent.
The process was to break down sentences into small components but some experienced “talking drummers” could send complete sentences. Even whole utterances.
“Talking drums” were considered a highly effective communication method because it could express musically emotions as well as information, unlike the sentimentally limited verbal communication.
