Every day I hear the sound of drums

pounding their rhythms. It is as much

a part of the backdrop to Abene as

the chirrup of insects at night, or the

cries of "toubab" during the day.

Toubab is traditionally shouted by

children at white people. I usually

shout "African" back at them, for my

amusement and their bewilderment.
