Tisamba?

[djemberay]

Greetings all,

A friend asked me about this rhythm. Does anyone have information on history, cultural context, ethnicity? It's been mentioned a few times in passing here in the forum. Thank you all!

It might be Tasaba that your looking for.

Edit,

Tisamba or Tisanba is a traditional Bamana rhythym similar to tansole according to djansa.be

I'm sure someone will have more info

djansa.be has the information completely transfered from Rainer Polaks liner notes to his cd Bamako Foli:

although he doesn't say anything specific on tisanba (first track of the recording), you can learn a lot on the sociocultural background of that music. A must read!

best, jürgen
