Best video of the 2011?

[James]

What's the favourite drumming video of the year?

Besides Foli

American idol gets my vote

Foli?

Excluding that eliminates the stand-out drumming video of the year, IMO. I've shown this to non-drummers, and they find it fascinating too.

Anna posted a collection of videos that are among the stand-outs for me.

Cheers,

Michi.

well, to me, the videos of the year were the famoudous. Unseen (to me, at least) footage of Noumoudy Keita, Famoudou and Mamady Keita. A very important addition to the djembe youtube video base.

In this users channel, you'll find some of the most precious 2011 released videos. More footage added to the sofa footage of Mamady, Famoudou, Koumbagna, Noumoudy, under the title "Masters of Guinéa". A video from the masters tour also, named MOGOBALU (Mamady, Soungalo, Famoudou, Fadouba, Bruno Gennero)
A kotedjuga from the same footage as the famoudous videos, with Mamady on solo. Adama Dramé in a fête at Bobo. A lot of gems.

And one of the most impressive videos I've seen this year was this one

bubudi had posted this and the other two videos from this fête, where the son of Petit Adama was baptised, notice James' comment...

Yeah I think Foli wins hands down, but I'm hoping to highlight the videos that might otherwise slip through the net

Foli is not in the contest. It's from 2009! And came on youtube in 2010.

Aw, alright, minor detail…

BTW, if we are insisting on videos made in 2011 only, the list of candidates might get quite short. (Come to think of it, I usually have no idea when a particular video was made…)

Cheers,

Yes, very impressive! I'm not sure I can take too much of that style. A little too nervous for my taste. But I certainly appreciate the technical skill.

This one stuck out for me this year. (Yes, I know, not made in 2011, but that's when I first saw it )

Cheers,

Michi.

The deepest impact on me had this track of issa coulibaly. I know, it's been uploaded on youtube in 2010 already, still: this is my video of the year. I listened over and over with a sense of awe...
