65-year-old Modi was seen enjoying the drumming session with the Tanzanian President, who appeared to halt briefly but resumed the drumming again when he saw the Indian leader was in no mood to stop.

Modi first played the drums during a visit to Japan in September 2014 when he joined the Japanese percussionists to perform a ‘jugalbandi’ with them.
