Performance of Mendiani by family members of Famoudou Konate - on djembe solos, Ibro Konate, Fode Konate & Billy Konate; dancers include several of Famoudou's daughters, nieces and wives.
This is the first time I think I really understand african drums and dancing. I love how they complement each other and make the whole thing seem more..intense than just chaotic. A good example of "the whole is greater than the sum of its parts". :) Great clip!
I watch this as much as Michael below... Love it - brings back some happy and sad memories. Thank you, everyone in Famoudou's circle; I couldn't be there.
El mejor vídeo de percusión africana que veo en mucho tiempo, el sentimiento de fiesta, la diversión, el canto... un buen ejemplo de todo lo que su cultura alberga!
YewandeAfrica The giving of water is very symbolic in African cultures. Water is life indeed!!! a gesture of appreciation not only to quench thirst but with great gratitude.
