From the door of the room where the dancing was done a confused uproaroverflowed, as if several men of powerful physique were banging a number ofpokers against a number of saucepans, and blowing whistles, and occasionalcatcalls, and now and then beating a drum and several sets of huge cymbals, and ceaselessly twanging at innumerable banjoes, and at the same timesinging in a foreign language, and shouting curses or exhortations orstreet cries, or imitating hunting-calls and the cry of the hyena,... oruniting suddenly in the war-whoop of some pitiless Sudan tribe. It was a really terrible noise. It hit you like the back-blast of anexplosion as you entered the room. There was no distinguishable tune. Itwas simply an enormous noise.

And this wasnot surprising. For the musicians included one genuine negro and three menwith their faces blacked; and the noise and the rhythm were the authenticmusic of a negro village in South America, and the words which some geniushad once set to the noise were an exhortation to go to the place where thenegroes dwelt.
