A group of about a dozen people stand in a loose gathering under the partial shade of a leafy tree. Most of the individuals are African men, dressed in casual clothing. In the foreground, a man dressed in a dark gray shirt and dark pants is bent over, using a short, thick stick to strike a drum that lies on its side on the ground. The drum is dark in color and appears well-used, with rope tied around it. Some other objects, including a pair of what appear to be metal bells, are also on the ground near the drum. The surface underfoot is a mixture of dirt and sparse vegetation. The background reveals a small, light-colored building. Some of the people are looking at the drummer while others appear to be looking in different directions.
