Maldivians enjoy a celebration.  Dancing to the rhythm of a pulsating traditional drum, or moving flowingly to the music created by rings on metal pots, is part of local culture. Laid back and relaxed, the lifestyle takes on a simplicity that is near idyllic. At the same time, the movers and the shakers are keeping ahead with the changing world, making modern music and technology as much a part of the Maldivian culture as the handbeating of tropical drums.
