Thanks! C'est un plaisir de revoir Daouda. J'étais à Ségou chez lui en 2000 et j'en garde de formidables souvenirs musicaux et humains. Je me rappelle encore des vieux djembés sur lesquels on jouait et des bonnes rigolades suite à son français approximatif et à mon bambara inexistant.

Merci encore!

They are also for decoration, and are given to the player by their master and once they get good enough then give their best students some.

But jesus his technique is nothing short of envy worthy...

[casema666]

That's the thing!!

[mountainmanrab]

wow that was great what about atrip till belfast when we have our next mela

[rootsymali]

[kostadjembe]

Really nice phrasing,to me it looks he s more influenced by his Malian background.

[nonidentity]

wow - great phrasing

[Starsaffire4]

pretty much one word....brilliant.

*watches again and again*

[bluewatermelonsky]

Do the metallic "flaps" on his drum add to the sound of his playing? Or is it just decorative?

[SHRIAO]

adds sound... like a snare drum... little metal 'rattles' - hope this helps!

[bluewatermelonsky]

ah! that's cool. thanks.

[tiroux59]
