The second part of the Konden section. This was part of an event for the village of Baro that took place in Conakry, December 2004. All the drummers are from Baro except Famoudou and Reiner Dorer.
I'm a Zulu from South Africa but this music here. Even though I don't understand it but it on another level 🔥🔥👌👌. Those kids were so energetic and how can I forget the drummers awesome thanks
Wunderschön! Ich frage mich, aufgrund welcher Kriterien 24 Menschen "Daumen runter" anklicken. Hä? Falls man auch nur ein bisschen was von dieser Musik und Kultur versteht, geht eigentlich nur "Daumen rauf".
Me gusta el ritmo de los tambores, el canto y los que bailan como que todo tiene una armonía y energía especial, me gustaría saber más al respecto de que trata la canción, la letra, y el significado de lo que interpretan los bailarines, me gustaría aprender el significado del baile o ritual
This rhythm is called Konden, which is also the name of the dancing mask. This type of ceremony is meant to cheer up the young men of the village, leading them to demonstrate their skills and strength. At the begining of the video, you can see the teenagers boys greeting the mask who protects and represents the qualities they want to impersonate.
In fact I agree with Jared, this is not a beach hippie jam, it's a very serious village ceremony with two of the best masters of the whole time. So even the most of that black musicians are absolutely not allowed to play solo. Believe me, it has been an honour for that white man just to stay there and play base pattern with them, he must be a truly dear friend of some of them...
