The Most Amazing Tambourine Players in the World

I'm pretty sure that during this last trip to Ghana I had the privilege of hearing and seeing the most amazing tambourine players in the world. I wish I had a short video that did justice to how amazing these ladies were, but it just was not fully captured on my little camera. During our first conference one of the ladies played on the worship team, then one night our team got to visit the home church of the tambourine players. We were at their home church one evening and about 6 six ladies were perfectly choreographed playing the tambourines. The church leaders in Ghana must have noticed how amazed out team was with the ladies, because they were all at the host church on our final Sunday in Ghana. I have never heard tambourines play in such unison with the worship team....you can't really hear this on my little videos. Since my camera is so small and I was close to the tambourines it sounds like they overpower the worship team, but live they blended in perfectly with the full music sound of the team. Also, I can't even begin to explain how fast these ladies could play a tambourine. And unfortunately, none of my little videos captured a great choreographed moment. These ladies would bend down low with the tambourine flying in their hands the whole time, then rise up and play at waist level, then move up with arms high in the air, then move around some more....all the while they played super fast in perfect unison. Absolutely the most amazing tambourine playing I've ever witnessed.....actually, I'm pretty sure they have to be the best in the world!
I'm going to load all the videos and pics that Google will allow me to post on this blog so you can get a small idea of what it was like ;) I really wish you could actually experience seeing these ladies in person!

PS - I know some of these videos are side-ways but I don't know how to fix that....sorry :)
