Thx a lot. I appreciate it! It's wonderful to, for once @ least, get some positive feeback. YouTube usersers are very swift with (pointless, non-constructive) criticism - but not with praise. Sandro aka Merecumbé

@xmxm011,

Can you upload a link for a Congolese style of drumming?

[1Urganda1]

They are very good, are they from the US or Cuba?

[1Urganda1]

impressive music, drums and dancing; great recreation

I appreciate the effort, but it's so hard for me to hear palo music out of the ceremonial context, and even worse in a performance where all the rawness and soul and beauty is lost. Just too elevator music for my taste...

[xmxm011]

The singing and the dancers were pretty good. The drumming sucked big time. I prefer a more congolese style of drumming.
