where did you or your friend hear about this rhythm?

i am not aware of any traditional rhythm by that name. however, mamady keita composed a piece called djigui. if you go to one of his workshops he might teach it.

Issa Bagayogo also has a song titled "Djigui" on one of his CDs (released in the West); ditto for Salif Keita (and, I'm sure, some other artists as well).

Perhaps you've come across the word in these - or similar - contexts?

Hi and thanks.

I came across the rhythm at seckou keitas workshop at African beats camp last month

It may not be traditional as a friend recalled seckou saying that mamady composed it.

I will search the above but if it's new I may not find anything.

I do have the dundun and djembe 1 & 2 but the breaks are incomplete.

Thanks again.

Edit.

Cannot find any online resource. I must write to seckou I suppose. It's not the one by Issa. This one has fast tone flam tone flam tone bass flam bass flam bass for djembe 1 part.

Thanks again
