This is a popular African legend, many years ago in a village in Africa, there was a lush jungle in the monkeys, these monkeys had a particularity, because of the intense heat they lived at night and slept during the day, this routine caused a certain addiction In monkeys, observe long hours to the bright moon.

They say that it was the only activity that monkeys did after eating, they spent all night watching the beautiful moon, all the conversation that the monkeys had around the beautiful moon, very often said that if it was beautiful, Which would be to see her up close.

One morning they could not sleep and took the opportunity to vote, all of them would decide whether or not it was convenient to visit the moon in their own home. At the end of the voting they all agreed that they would visit the moon.

The most intelligent monkey convinced the rest of the monkeys, who were to move to the mountains, persuaded everyone present that the moon leaves the earth and passes very close to the mountains, they had only to wait patiently for the moonrise and Jump over it.

Several nights were traveling from tree to tree to reach the mountains, once there the moon had already left and was very high, there was no one who jumped so high to reach it, as customs were spent all night watching them, some included dreamed Awake, dreamed of who would be the one who jumped higher to reach that beauty.

The day passed quickly and began to fall the night, the wise monkey gathered everyone at the top of the hill, soon the moon would come and they should be attentive and silent, if the moon warned of any presence because of their timidity would not come out, the monkeys Were in position, first jump the most agile, to have more opportunity to climb in it.

As it was foreseen the moon began to ascend slowly, of one they were jumping the more agile monkeys, but nobody managed to arrive and of one they fell at the foot of the mountain, hundreds of monkeys piled in the floor and another hundred they came in pricked falling of The mountain, all the monkeys failed, except a little monkey who had few physical conditions, as he was the last to jump had the opportunity to see what were the errors of failure, having lived the bad experiences of the rest but his positive attitude made it possible to the moon.

To see him arrive the moon was very surprised, never in his life had seen a monkey so close, kindly received his guest and was a very good host, I invited the little monkey to go throughout his home, the monkey looked very surprised, but What surprised her most was her incredible beauty.

They had a beautiful evening, finally the moon said that very soon it would have to be removed and that he should return home, before saying goodbye made a gift never seen, just to hide under the earth delivered a beautiful drum, which The little monkey received tears in the eyes of joy.

The monkey jumped on the top of a hill giving way to the moon to hide behind the mountain, soon came the sun and the monkey did not recognize where it was, logically jump in the other part of the world.

Slowly I traveled home with the drum in his hand, in his step to sound the drum as if it were the best musician on earth, all the people and animals that crossed the monkey were surprised with is strange object of the That emanated that beautiful sound.

The little monkey jumped from branch to branch without pause to reach its beautiful thicket, surely all his friends waited anxiously to hear his story of the beautiful moon, not knowing that brought another beautiful surprise.

When they arrived in Africa, the natives saw the little monkey astonished to make that strange noise with that strange instrument, long hours watched the little monkey play, until an Indian made a replica and started making music, this liked everyone and made hundreds of Drums, which were distributed throughout the universe.

Thus was the birth of the first drum of Africa, which today is in every corner of the world giving joy to the people of each village with its beautiful sound.
