No words for this! Take the time to see the whole part, and check the other parts too.
Take your own conclusions.

I used to go there when I first enetered the djembe world.

Then I went to Mamady and then never returned back Now we have something nice going with a good bunch of people.

What's up with Y'all, Bubs, you should be here in Texas

I liked Michi's statement from the older thread:

Even thinking of myself as a liberal person, I sometimes wish there were a law against that kind of thing. I guess that's the price of free speech...

Interesting enough, the guy knows about some correct microtiming: If you have a look at the mendiani part, his sangban phrase and the one djembe would do! But they don't know where it is (concerning downbeat and dance).

It's very often Americans who act the way as Michi has shown in the other thread: talking the half video long and then comes out: nothing. I haven't found something like that in german by know: Our hippies and fooling "traditionalists" prefer to write silly things on their homepages, I think. And in France the niveau is better. Even someone who knows nothing, wouldn't talk that much and have a better sound there.

I don't really share the quite optimistic view expressed by many in the other thread. And (as you know) I don't see the Mamady style as the rescue of tradition at all. But what can be reached is that almost everywhere some people make good djembe music and care about where it comes from (or where it's origins come from) - a little nice interconnected world between all the rest. d;-)

I have a dr... okok, my own problem d;-)

This is too funny.

Many years ago, I was desperate for folks to play with. So i went to a few classes by this "Papa Abubakr" a proclaimed master. I never felt like i could completely trust what he was teaching as traditional music. Many times when he taught a specific rhythm it was different from the time before.

Also, he tried to cover like 10 songs in one hour (with full duns & accompaniment). Therefore its no suprise the "regulars" who had been with him for years still didn't know what they were doing. And, his Kotedjuga was in a 4/4 time signature---thats when i swore never to pay to play with him again.

The youtube video poster set the video as private. I guess the all the comments and thumbs down were more than they could handle. Safe to say a bubble was popped and they now know they were taught wrong.

or maybe they got tired of being harangued. it happens.

Maybe. At any rate, it's a good thing that the video is out of circulation now.

Cheers,
