This is the first time I think I really understand african drums and dancing. I love how they complement each other and make the whole thing seem more..intense than just chaotic. A good example of "the whole is greater than the sum of its parts". :) Great clip!

Beautiful and passionate dancing with dazzling drumming brilliance. Sound quality is nice too.

I love this giving of water to the drummers. Is that some tradition of this dance?

[dleufer]

The griot singing is Fanta Djawara

This is a great video, thanks for posting.

I especially like the brother in the white shirt dancing behind Billy Konate at the 6:58 mark. Hillarious!

[odenspecial]

Can I find Ms.Fanta Konate in this video?

[archetypo]

I believe it's either Fanta or her sister dancing at 6:03. I have another video (not yet posted) where both sisters dance...

[pollensepal]

At 6:03 is most certainly Fanta's sister, Fadima. She has a web-site at fadimakonate . com

[nonidentity]

great clip! - what was the occasion?

[archetypo]

They put this on for some Portuguese film makers who were making a documentary with Billy. I have some other amazing video from this day but it needs to be edited for length before I can post...
