Four beats? Three beats?

European classical music is like a flowing stream, like a spot of sunlight projected on the ground through the leaves, and it speaks implicitly, hesitantly, and bitterly. African music does not have so many tricks, they beat life with the rhythm of the beating of the heart; they are played not because they are reserved, hesitant, or depressed, but because they should love life and play them because they are alive. They have only one question: shouldn't life be like this? And we don't have this question, and we forbid others to have this question. What's more embarrassing is that we have more other questions.
