New DRUM magazine has genuine and close links with the famous Drum Magazine of Africa not just in tone and spirit but in continuity with its very creators back in the 1950s. That continuity is evident in one of the launch articles written by author Sylvester Stein who was editor of Drum Magazine in its apartheid-fighting heyday. Another launch article is written by Ron Godfrey, son of Peter Godfrey, the former editor of its West African editions.
The new free DRUM magazine will focus on the latest issues and breaking stories shaping the lives of Black African and Caribbean people everywhere. Important stories the mainstream press doesn't get; inside access where outsiders fear to tread. The latest in music, health, arts, fashion, film, travel, food, events and in-depth features aimed at people of African descent and their families and friends at home and abroad. Indeed, any drummer who explores our publication as a means to further his or her understanding of the instrument will be sorely disappointed!
The re-immergence of DRUM: LIVE LIFE TO A DIFFERENT BEAT in London is due to take place on Friday 25 April 2003. The magazine is distributed free-of-charge through a network of clubs, bars, restaurants, gyms, bookshops, arts, entertainment and music venues, libraries, community centres, clinics, schools, universities, libraries, and other local outlets in Britain and abroad.
