  • and in this class defense, it's not far off from Mamady/ballet version at Coluer Cafe. Are you going to tell Mamady Keita he should play Tiriba exactly like Landouma Tribe does, vs. how Ballet Africains rewrote it to fit with djembe/doundoun etc.?

    djembe part is shifted a little but it's same doundoun and djembe, just shifted, which happens depending on where you go.... easier to look at like jazz. Sometimes "Summertime" is played in 4. Sometimes in 5 (6,6/8,7 etc.)

  • HERE'S the bad news, my wannabe gringo griots (I'm one also)...  When you actually get to the villages where these rhythms were founded, you will be very disappointed. Many of them aren't played on djembe, and are nothing like what the Ballet remade for show purposes. What we learn in USA/Europe is 1950/60's ballet remakes, so NOONE should be stating what's right or wrong, unless you are Landouma people, where Tiriba comes from, and there it's different from ballet. > I learn, < I know...

  • sounds like it's a 4/4 rhythm and I believe tiriba is a 6/8-

  • @leah151 Whats the signature? It didn't sound too unusual

  • Ibru and Lebon

  • @ady38 - the teacher is Abdoulaye Diakite & it is a different time signature than what you may be used to but it is most definitely Tiriba depending on where in West Africa you go. And yes, it was fun!

  • Great stuff. Have fun!

  • rhythm is not complete...only one part.

  • You have to understand people play all these

    rhythms with their own style and feel.

    I studied djembe in Guinea Conakry and learned much.

    when i came back to Canada people were like

    "thats's not Yankadi or thats not Triba"

    I was like....whatever.there expert who has never even been to Africa!

  • I don't know who your teacher was but that feel was all wrong for Tiriba. A good example of how not to play it! Listen to some of the other examples of Tiriba on youtube and just compare. Anyway it looks like they were having fun, so I guess they enjoyed it.
