For centuries, drums have been a powerful tool of ritual conjuration in African spiritual traditions. Yet, in Hoodoo, a tradition deeply rooted in African American spirituality, the drum is noticeably absent. Why? In this episode, we uncover the lost history of the African drum in the Americas, the laws that banned its use, and how Hoodoo practitioners adapted their spiritual practices in response.

🔥 In This Video, You’ll Learn:
✔️ The sacred role of drums in African traditions 🥁
✔️ How the transatlantic slave trade brought the drum to America
✔️ The Stono Rebellion & the legal banning of drums in 1740
✔️ How enslaved Africans preserved rhythm without drums
✔️ Why Hoodoo evolved without drum traditions
✔️ The impact of alternative instruments like tambourines & bones

📜 Hoodoo is an ever-evolving practice, shaped by resilience, adaptation, and ancestral wisdom. While the drum may not be central to Hoodoo, its rhythm still echoes through handclaps, foot stomping, and sacred songs.
