Djembe Master Seckou Keita

Like Djembe? Watch to the end... its well worth it! : ) The interuptions and applause are for a small kid not visible in a chair behing the drummer who adds his bit every now and then.
Note: I did not film this and only wish I knew who did. Just spreading the love. Enjoy.

Seckou Keita is such a warm and lovely spirit!! He came into my djembe class in Chicago last year - I recognized him as the Kora player on Mamady Keita's "Live at Coleur Cafe" with Sewa Kan video concert. So, if you like his djembe playing, check him out on Kora - WOW!!! I know he has great reverence for Mamady Keita as a Master Drummer, so I think it's cool here that he borrows from Mamdy's "Djembe Kan" in his own solo here.

Bless you! You dont 'borrow' a rhythm... you play it friend. Matters not where it comes from.... ego's dont apply in this game : )

Maybe my favorite djembe video on youtube. Great playin, and equally great vibes. Lots of laughing, smiling, and love. The djembe brings the people together.

What qualifies one as a djembe master is the ability play what runs through your mind, just like talking, whilst using the full range if the drum, with clear technique. The same way that we (should) have mastery over spoken word, a master drummer has mastery over the drum...

This is too good

Not only is he a great player, his acknowledgement of the child's "additions" show his humility !! A true Maestro !!!
