Group Singing

I've been listening to a lot of primitive/folk music. One of the aspects of it that I love is how it's quite often performed by a large number of people. Instead of A drummer, they will have several people playing different percussion instruments. Instead of A singer, there will be many voices either singing together or singing various parts. This creates a lot of energy in the music.

It also breaks with some of the modern ideas about who is ALLOWED to do music. In large group-sings, not everyone has to be talented. If you don't have a beautiful singing voice, you can add your voice to the drone tones. If you can't play an instrument or if you don't own one, you can bang on your shield or sticks. Every bit contributes to the whole. Everyone gets to be involved. I love that.
