Bro. I am an american and I have been studying music for years, but some of the rhythms Laye was playing here is beyond anything I've heard before, I can barely wrap my head around it.
This because here you're really hearing the Guinean traditional music. Laye comes from a village of Guinee named Baro, and that village is famous to let the drum "speaking". Each rhythm that Laye plays either reproduces words either reproduces any noise of the village. I was there and I learnt some rhythms from his father Mansa Camio. I can guarantee you that he's one of the few drummers abroad west Africa that still keeps the tradition. Not like many other of them that left their countries and didn't keep the traditional knowledge, which is crucial for them to make the real music.
