Drums have always played an important role in the lives of the Jamaican People. It is believed that the drums create a deep spiritual feeling, transcending the listener. Drums evoke moods of happiness, sadness and are rooted in the lives of a people.
he JCDC seeks to sustain the rich legacy of the conga and other types of hand beaten drums found across the island. The National Drumming Festival –Drumfest creates a unique opportunity for drummers all across the island to display their skills at playing the drum.
