I'm no expert but the djembefolas of today have taken the playing far beyond the traditional in order to show their skills. I know perhaps 50 traditional songs - and this one is not among them. The little odd time signatures played by Babara don't seem to have any analog in the traditional songs/rhythms. Playing to a Western audience is a good way to be desired by Western Unis. so much so that educational visas(F-1) have been granted to rather young masters. I took lessons from perhaps a dozen of them during the 1990s...in the states. Moreover, wide recognition can be a total ticket out of poverty for a talented djembefola these days. Guinea has - and has had - "djembe tourism" for some time now. If you're able to go to the old continent, I highly recommend it. Of course I am likely to be wrong ;)
@@souldeep808 It's new to me as well. * Shrugs * At ny rate it is very cool. One of the things I have noted when master djembefolas come to the states is that the men not only seem to be in some sort of competition - we had 7 Malians over to teach at one time - it is that they ARE in competition to see if any will be granted visas. I drummed with the Official dance troupe of Guinea in the early 1990s. That was a lot different as those amazing people were revered at home. I got to know Abdoulaye Sylla very well. He passed recently and there are videos on RU-vid celebrating his life. He was a wonderful human. His wife(American) is a sweetheart. I live about two hours driving time from their home. The dance troupe's name is Les Ballets Africains. Yamoussa Camera lives here now....he's great.
Questo vuoi dire chi hai perso il figli di andare avanti non il dietro .di non piangono piu .perche chi morto non ritorno mai più. Però il suo spirito e con noi genitori per sempre .nell' nostro cuore finché viviamo solo questo basta vestito nero cambia vestito .comincia menti vestito colorato come me .questo è mio moltivo di oruemagbe maghigbi
