Mamady Keita solo 2006
by bops » Tue Jun 24, 2008 4:42 am
Here's your chance for the private lesson with Mamady you always wanted. Some of those super hot solo phrases from Mogobalu and Mamady Lèè are played here at a slower tempo for easier digestion:
He's still the man (forgive me ladies for the sexist term).

Awesome! Best 13 minutes I spent at work all day.
That is such a great quality video in terms of sound. The duns sound awesome!

Great clip the rhythm is "TORO".
Kenkeni is similar to "LEKULE" but the sangban and dundunba is a bit different!
Mamady is the man indeed! It was an honour to host Mamady in Australia for his 2008 workshop tour!
Inekay!

sorry fred, that rhythm is very much indeed Lekule with the dunun parts as he teaches them and he even plays the solo phrases that he teaches.

Hey Duga,
yes you're right
Its only that the dundunba is a bit like the "TORO" section, my bad!
When Mamady showed "Lekule" here in Australia the dundunba was not like the one
as on this video (except for sangban and kenkeni off course).
He is the "man" anyhow!
Cheers,
Steady

Renki,
The following information is from notes taken at a Mamady Keita workshop. The rhythm Lekule is named after a woman who was a very great dancer. Her husband composed it for her to honor her. Her husband was a great percussionist that played a small djembe with several smaller djembes attached to it, each tuned to a different pitch ( I can't recall the name of the drum). The rhythm originated in the southern part of Guinea ( the Guerze people) many centuries ago. It was played at the end of celebrations to honor her beauty and skill as a dancer.
