Djembe timing

[Waraba]

Gotta love it--Google Translate has captured perfectly what I sounded like in Bambara:

"As for the drum. been laughing Drisa Kone (right, djembe accompaniment) must, as Polak aware characters plays, which date from the repertoire of the late djembe player Yamadu Dunbia which teacher and master both Drisa Kones and Tanba Dunbias was."

Here is a better translation of the relevant passage:

Drisa Kone (right, djembe accompaniment) is laughing because Rainer Polak deliberately plays phrases from the repertoire of the late djembe player Yamadu Dunbia, who was teacher and master of both Drisa Kone and Tanba Dunbia.

thanks, michi!

the Google version was actually far more comprehensible than anything I've seen it come up with for French, Spanish, Portuguese and Italian. Their databases really need some work re. Latin languages.
