2022 Reprint of the 1949 Edition.  Illustrated. Exact facsimile of the original edition and not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software.  Carrington was a Baptist Missionary to the Democratic Republic of Congo. In this work the author argues that the 'talking' of the African drum is in effect a language, and not simply a form of signaling. He goes on to explain the language of the African drum and the fact that many such languages exist in Africa, providing a form of communication otherwise unavailable to Africans.  Table of Contents: IntroductionCentral African Languages and Our OwnThe DrumsHow Messages are Sent on the Talking DrumWhat’s in a Name?Ourselves as Others See UsBirths, Marriages and DeathsSporting EventsPotpourriHorns, Whistles and GuitarsThe Future of the Drum Languages of Africa
