Meghan Markle and Prince Harry got their rhythm on as they played the drums during their third day in Colombia.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were all smiles while learning a traditional African drumming art form.
At the Escuela Tambores de Cabildo music school in Cartagena on Saturday.
The couple sat among students while joyfully beating on the drums between their legs.
Markle, 43, stunned in a black-and-white maxi dress, accessorizing with several bracelets and necklaces.
As for Harry, 39, he sported a blue button-up shirt with rolled-up sleeves and khaki pants.
At one point, the father of two leaned in to whisper in his wife’s ear as she smiled.
Colombian Vice President Francia Márquez and her husband, Rafael Yerney Pinillo, joined the royals for the lesson.
“I love seeing Meghan’s big, big smile — I can tell she’s excited,” Pinillo said, per Us Weekly.
Márquez explained she invited the couple to the South American country because she believes they are “a joint symbol of resistance and two vital voices against injustice.”
“The Duke and Duchess came to Colombia … this is Colombia. This is where the roots of our ancestors and our forefathers are from. A community like this cannot be displaced,” she said.
Markle and Harry were also taught the importance of Cartagena’s Afro-Colombian roots and the priority of preserving the culture.
According to the outlet, the duo learned that drumming signifies the freedom of Black populations around the world.
Later in the day, the Duke and Duchess went to San Basilio de Palenque, the Americas’ first free African town.
Markle changed into a white Argent ribbed crewneck tank ($145) and Posse’s Emma pencil skirt in ivory ($250), while Harry wore a light blue shirt and white slacks.
After listening to the community’s words about the town’s history, the father of two described the experience as “incredibly moving,” according to Us Weekly.
On Friday, Harry was seen showing off his dance moves at La Giralda school in Bogotá.
