I noticed that too. Looks like she throws in some dununba too! She can really dance though.

someone has been asking me if I can name the other artists in this video. Can anyone help?

I know the dancers and Mohammed and Tuza, the other djembefola's name was something Camara?
Anyone? Bubudi?

The djembefola on the right is Lansana Camara, my teacher here in Brisbane.

I know Tuza very well, and he's definitely not in this video. The male dancer is Mory Traore and the female dancer is Aicha Keita. Aicha one of the best dancers I've ever met.

The ballet dundun player is Sibo Bangoura.

I don't recognize the sangban player on the left.

Cheers,

Michi.

that was mory on sangban most of the time. about 7 minutes in some guy i can't make out took over while mory did a dance solo. i don't think the dunun player was sibo, but i can't quite make out who it was.

I'm pretty sure that's Sibo. The picture isn't terribly clear. But I recognize the body language.

What do you mean "difficulties"? You mean the video won't play at all?

There is nothing special you have to do. Just click on the video, and it should play. If that doesn't work, I'd say there is something wrong with your browser or browser settings.

Cheers,

Michi.

guess my post was a little vague.

with difficulties i mean not being able to see them in the post at all. i see people saying check out this video, then a big blank spot in their post where the video should appear (i think).

thanks for your help!

Something wrong with your browser then. Not sure how best to fix this. You could try reinstalling the browser, or use a different browser, such as Firefox.

Cheers,
