Abstract

The drum is historically the African instrument. According to historians, the origin of the first percussive instruments is African. But this view has been fought by contemporary ethnographers. Some have argued that the first percussion instruments emerged in Egypt. In the 16th century a.n.e sculptures, drums appear in several scenes of street dancing, and in military personnel going to war. Even today, with the exception of China, there are no people with a greater variety of drums than Egypt. Of course, this does not run counter to the theory of the black origin of the drum: It is very significant that one of the first historical figures of black man is the mythology of the former Egyptian’s BES. BES was the daughter of the dancing, and it was often depicted by touching a panty. In this way, black can be said to appear in history, baking and touching the drum. In the funeral scenes of the XVIII to XX dinastes, the figure of an old black is often seen by touching the drum. Black dancers are also seen in the paintings of papiros, sarcophagus and mural scenes of former Egypt. Still today in Central Africa, there are some musical instruments already drawn in the Egyptian tumbas of Dinasty IV.
