Video embedding is not working properly on this site at the moment. Hopefully it will be back up and running soon. I included the link to the video above.

some bwaba style playing from northwestern burkina faso by the group dialolo




the leader, lassina dembele, plays ngoni and sings lead vocals. his brother, mamadou dembele plays djembe, bara and tambin (fula flute). here's an example of that:



here's one more which gives a nice closeup of bara technique at 2:07:

bwaba are an ethnic group from western burkina faso. they are often mistakenly called bobo oule (red bobo) by the bambara. there is only one true bobo tribe which is the one the bambara call bobo fing (black bobo).
