The drummer in the centre wears a red striped shirt and black trousers and strikes the drum with a stick, while a man in a white t-shirt and red-pink cloth over his shoulder stands at left. Others in white shirts and a green polo shirt stand behind, and a tall pole with a hanging rope is visible above.
