Why women want to play the drums
Europe’s biggest street festival takes place this weekend at the Notting Hill carnival.
The event is famous for its wide variety of music and for many of those attending the sounds of Samba have become a key attraction. The musicians of the Samba bands have traditionally been men with women in place as singers and dancers. But there are women who are deciding that the spangled tights and the plumed headgear aren’t for them – instead they want to play the drums.
