The performance I decided to choose, which I felt a sense of community and solidarity is built into it is African drum circles. The video I linked is a great example of how this style of performance creates a sense of community. Many people play their drums together, each with unique rhythms to create a beautiful performance, and children dance all around. Although most of the people in the video are African, there is also involvement of some people of other races, expanding the community beyond where it originated.
