The Kumina in Jamaica are from the Kongo kingdom. They came in as &#8220;Indentured Servants&#8221; aka Paid slaves. In Jamaica out of all the ethnic groups they have the highest African retention and conservation, they speak a patois filled with Kikongo words. The drumming is very much like Bomba, Bambula, and other Congolese derrived drummings, but of the same specific region.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Learn more about Kumina and hear some of the traditional drum rhythms played by Horace Junior Gabu Wedderburn, Master Drummer for the Lion King:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.largeup.com\/2011\/11\/04\/the-lions-master-qa-with-junior-%E2%80%9Cgabu%E2%80%9D-wedderburn\/\">http:\/\/www.largeup.com\/2011\/11\/04\/the-lions-master-qa-with-junior-%E2%80%9Cgabu%E2%80%9D-wedderburn\/<\/a><\/p>\n[gview file=&#8221;http:\/\/elisewitt.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Mahtina-Kubalay.pdf&#8221; save=&#8221;0&#8243;]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Secular songs from the Kumina Tradition of Jamaica Learned from Horace Junior Gabu Wedderburn Mahtina &amp; Kubalay Mahtina woy, woy, woy, Mahtina Mahtina woy, woy, woy, Mahtina Rock your body, &#8230; <a href=\"https:\/\/elisewitt.com\/web\/martina-woy-woy-woy\/\" class=\"more-link\">Read More <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">about  Mahtina &#038; Kubalay<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[271],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8607","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-workshop-songs","entry"],"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":false,"thumbnail":false,"medium":false,"medium_large":false,"large":false,"1536x1536":false,"2048x2048":false,"square-entry-image":false,"vertical-entry-image":false,"horizontal-entry-image":false,"mailpoet_newsletter_max":false,"woocommerce_thumbnail":false,"woocommerce_single":false,"woocommerce_gallery_thumbnail":false},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"Faith Naoi","author_link":"https:\/\/elisewitt.com\/web\/author\/faith\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"Secular songs from the Kumina Tradition of Jamaica Learned from Horace Junior Gabu Wedderburn Mahtina &amp; Kubalay Mahtina woy, woy, woy, Mahtina Mahtina woy, woy, woy, Mahtina Rock your body, ...
