A stage performance by a troupe of drummers in matching outfits: yellow head wraps, patterned gold-and-orange sleeveless tops, black skirts with colourful fringe, and bright yellow and purple shawls. Several performers stand on a stone step holding drums and sticks, while one performer stands atop the human pyramid formation at the centre, raising a stick. Others hold cymbal-like metal instruments. A dark curtain and maroon drapes with a gold scalloped valance form the backdrop.
