Hi. I you ever go to Hamana, I reccomend you to visit Koumana village it's about 20 km from Kouroussa. Ask for Noundiarra Kourouma. He is a blacksmith in Komana. Everybody knows him, because he organises drum festivites there. He is really the traditionall drummer, in the sense, that he is blacksmith and drummer because of his heritage. He is also a friend of Famoudou Konate, who speak very good things about him.
Good luck !
