For me, it speaks worlds, literally. Lands, places and cultures: some I know, most are waiting for me beyond the horizons..</p> <p>What are the rhythms in the United States? </p> <p>In Brazil? Samba, frevo, forró, sertanejo – and many others. </p> <p>In Mexico? Canada? Scotland with those wonderful bagpipes? </p> <p>Russia? England? Germany? Japan? China? Ireland? Israel, Africa (different ones for each country).</p> <p>In every country, part of learning the culture is learning the rhythms of that country. Then you add the melodies... More variations, all based upon the development of that country over the centuries. </p> <p>To learn, it takes time – and the desire to learn plus the opportunity. </p> <p>Unexpectedly God put this girl raised on a small farm in the Pacific Northwest into Brazil to live. </p> <p>On these pages I will be sharing some of the challenges – the joys – the loneliness - and the fulfillment in a cross- cultural life.</p> <h2 class="alignright">Voni</h2> </div> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/different-drums-new-melodies/~4/CJ0g0YTv9Qo" height="1" width="1"/> Tue, 27 Jul 2010 08:28:50 GMT http://manualoflife.com/vonis-pages/different-drums-new-melodies/2010/07/27/different-drums-new-melodies---preface/ http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/different-drums-new-melodies/~3/CJ0g0YTv9Qo/ http://manualoflife.com/vonis-pages/different-drums-new-melodies/2010/07/27/different-drums-new-melodies---preface/
