钢鼓,诞生于20世纪20年代中期的特立尼达和多巴哥(下称特多),它被称为20世纪人类所发明的唯一的乐器品种,已被联合国教科文组织列入人类文化遗产名录。钢鼓的诞生有一段辛酸史,也是特多人民寻求独立与发展的艰难历程的写照。当年占领特多的欧洲殖民者从非洲贩来大量黑奴,黑奴们随身带来了非洲鼓文化。而殖民者害怕黑奴击鼓为号,串联起来闹事反抗,于1783年宣布击鼓为非法。 Drum, born in the mid-1920s in Trinidad and Tobago (hereinafter Tricot), known as the only musical instrument invented by humans in the 20th century, has been included by UNESCO as a human Cultural Heritage List. The birth of steel drums has a history of bitterness and a portrayal of the difficult journey of the Trinidian people in seeking independence and development. The large number of black slaves who seized Tverson in that year were trafficked from Africa and the black slaves brought with them the culture of African drums. The colonists, fearful of the number of black slaves’ drums, went up in tandem to stir up trouble and declared drumming illegal in 1783.
