some info from a home born child d;-)
Soli would do about 80% of it. The rest is dyidanba, Balakulyndyan (=Soliba or Soli lent) and maybe Könöwulen, if a single guy appears d;-)
In Upper Guinea, birth fêtes (denabö) aren't played by drummers. It's the women who sing and dance using the karinyas (bells), but you can say which rythm it was, if there were drums. As some of you have already mentioned, a week later for the name giving party, the drums can join in (but don't have to - most children in the villages don't have these drumming event for their birth or naming ceremony).
