Piano and Drums
"Piano and Drums" is a postcolonial poem by Nigerian poet Gabriel Okara.[1][2][3][4][5] Like "The Snowflakes Sail Gently Down", another of his poems, it is concerned primarily with the Euro-African cultural dichotomy. The poem deals with the simplicity of the African culture and the complexity of the European culture.
