TEDxBermuda 2011
Music from around the world
Keith Caisey, a world-renowned percussionist of 48 years’ experience, took the audience on a musical journey around the world.
He spoke of how he has been inspired by the music of different cultures, and in discovering the “rhythm of life”.
Among the instruments he played was his own Bermudian version of the Australian didgeridoo, hollowed out from a local tree. His message was that music played on traditional instruments can preserve a culture, and this should be passed down through the generations.
“We need to hang on to what we have. We’re like tuning forks, all of us, and we need to tune each other up every day. “What we have to celebrate is being on this planet and celebrate every breath we take.”
