The Griot is playing the Rede a single string violin type instrument indigenous to West Africa - talking drum and the women a true tribal gift.

being from Cuba, DR, and Puerto Rico i always knew that alot of our music is rooted in West Africa but after watching this i have a much more expanded understanding...its hard to explain but it feels natural, feels "right"

@JessONEofQU Yeah you could definitely feel the clave we use in the caribbean

[Tankalanki]

Pura Rumba - of course it feels right to caribeans!!!

[SooperKewl]

for blues players and fans, it would be easy to see the roots of the music here in the repetitive melody / rhythm, call and response structure, and even showmanship on display. great stuff!
