The Human Hambone (2005)

THE HUMAN HAMBONE highlights the talents of a wide variety of both amateur and professional musicians and dancers throughout North America, from front-porch artists to stage performers, who use every part of the human body – head, feet, hands, mouth, arms, legs, torso – to make music. The film incorporates interviews with scholars and archival footage to trace the historical roots of body music back to 18th-century American history, when African slaves were forbidden to use drums, and so resorted to the body itself as a percussive instrument.
