cool.

my friends made that 2nd video you posted. the DVDS are not on sale at drumskull.

the b-roll footage is pretty sick too.

[the kid]

is the dvd available any where else.

it looks a feast of great footage and a unique view of drumming in guinea. seems like they captured something special with all bolokadas preformances

great idea to make this video. well done to your friend.

Is 'b/roll footage' the extra footage that doesn't get onto dvd/- must be amazing.

take it easy

keanie,

where are you again? i think right now it's only available in the States. I'm not sure if anyone will pick it up for distribution in Europe. i think Rhythm Traders will also carry it if they aren't already.

yea...the B-roll is all the extra stuff that didn't get into the DVD.
