There was a South American drumming troupe around who were pretty authentic/ ethnic. There are other drummers, the Samba band, which is a group as diverse as the rebels themselves and anyone can join any day. As you may notice they don’t have to have any experience!
There may have been more drummers though.
The vocal output does leave a bit to be desired I agree.

Working in Westminster was made more interesting this week by the presence of the XR protesters.
Most of the students and staff at our school were really positive about it and there were loads of positive interactions. Running home on Monday down thr middle of closed-off streets was a great vision of London without road traffic.
Huge respect to the people camping out in a road in foul weather.
The ones playing "tribal" drums and doing "African" singing though - they should probably think about how that comes across to a group of socially and ethnically diverse students if they're all white. It's not a great look and will probably be quite counter-productive with the most politically engaged students.
