  • How Drums Came To Be

  • Why Leopards Aren’t Vegetarians

  • Why Monkeys Live In Trees

  • AND…

  • Why You Never Mess With A Drummer’s Drum Without First Asking Permission…

This story is featured in two of my DrumSongStory Programs: Trickster Tales and The Talking Drum.  It can also stand alone as a humorous and refreshing 20 minute keynote that is guaranteed to liven up the most serious corporate conference.

This telling was recorded live at an elementary school with several audience volunteers assisting me on Djun-djun, Djembe, and “Bob the Big Drum”.

Drums, Songs & Stories Exploring The Trickster Archetype In Many Cultures

Of course this is the funniest program I do. It is after all, stories celebrating tricksters: Fox, Coyote, Rabbit, Anansi the Spider, Monkey, Crow, Turtle…all of these non-human characters have much to teach us about ourselves. Almost always the trickster gets tricked. Coyote always gets bested by roadrunner. But some tricksters like Bugs Bunny always seem to come out on top.

  • “Monkey & Leopard” (Africa)


    • .

  • “All Stories Are Anansi’s” (Africa)
  • “Coyote & Cicada” (N. America)
  • “Coyote & Turtle” (N. America)
  • “The Lying Contest” (Armenia)
