Bushasche Etude

Based on a traditional dance from Zaire, "Bushasche Etude" is a dance of peace in which the participants call up the gods of war and defeat them. Pearl Primus once expressed the desire to have every high school student in the United States learn this piece...and now they can. This 4-minute dance has been staged for as few as 4 and as many as 35 and is adaptable for dancers of different ages and abilities. "Bushasche Etude" is best performed to live drumming, but an audio CD is included.
