Rhythm being played:
Sounou (Sunu, Sunun) is a rhythm from the Kaye region in Mali. 
"It is played as competition-dance-rhythm for young men" (Mamady Keïta).
"It 's a popular rhythm dating from the pre colonial era. In that period once lived a pretty girl called Sounou Mamady in the village Sagabari. She was known for her dancing qualities and participated in any dance festival that was organized. "Sounou is a rhythm belonging to the Kakolo' people and Soninke people know as Maraka. Karta is where Sounou originated. "The real name of Sounou is Goi. Goi is the rhythm's name. Sounou is the name of a woman: Sounoumba." ( Abdoul Doumbia )The rhythm is made by the Djembéfola from her village honoring this girl Sounou Mamady. The dance is presented after a good harvest. The girls can practise their grace, beauty and sometimes seduction. For the young men (especially Kaarta) a opportunity to show their strenght and vitality while making all sorts of acrobatic jumps" (Serge Blanc)
