Why are drums so important in many African cultures?

a. They are used to gather a community together and for ceremonial purposes.

b. They are used during capoeria performances.

c. They are the foundation for hip hop and jazz music.

d. They are a central part of the Hindu religion.

I'd say the correct answer is A, because they used drums for ceremonial purposes.

B isn't correct, because capoeria has to do with Brazil, not Africa.

C - drums were used long before hip hop and jazz, so that is not their essential function.

D - Hindu has to do with India, not Africa.
