Donor notes: Side 1 is rehearsal of an all percussion group. No info on box other than word "Afro" and "Drums." A lot of talk on side 1 after performance. Discussion of the details for a gig occurring in the near future. More music follows after. Juma describes as "Afro-American" style, rather than pure African. Side 2 begins with Robin Woodstock speaking to a young child (maybe 2yo?). This is followed by someone practicing a shenai or musette at 3.75ips (didn't have correct equipment to dub this. Third is the beginning of the percussion rehearsal from side 1.
