@Skullpudding signals on there such as that started at 1:55 are typical signals used in classes (at the very least) that are distinctive 'next phase' signals. The Soloist at 1:10 used, what I believe were traditional, and the 'talking' (I forget what the actual term is) between the soloist and another drummer at 1:24 - 1:28 is traditional. (I haven't analysed the rest of the vid because it's too long, these are examples). Good effort from the group, they just need to be less shy and go for it.

I found it using that info. Thanks!
From what I found, it's "Fanga Alafia", which means "Welcome" (Fanga), "in peace" (alafia). Which is an awesome message in any culture.

I am also black and your comment is ridiculous. A Negative comment is negative regardless of the SOURCE. Take a moment to think about it. Maybe it will make sense to you if you try not to be judgemental.
I really love this beat. I'll have to try to get a round of this going at our next meetup locally. It looks really fun.
Two questions:
1. Is this a traditional African song?
2. Are the beat and "lyrics" online somewhere, so I could send it to my "circle"?

Not sure... our guide called it "Fanga", and I think ts origin is Mali...
