Ever since I can remember
I felt an unbearable yearning for the tropics and African drumming. I
attained both for the first time in Cuba where I was sent on a scholarship
from my university in Budapest, to complete my master degree in Latin
American literature. There I learned drumming in African religious settings,
with all that this trade implies in the host cultures: spirituality, morality,
community. Upon initiation into the Vititi Congo “house” of
the Congo cult I received the name and mission Millero Congo (Congo seedbed)
which made drumming a lifetime apostleship for me.
