agreed!!! i love that simple arrangement. too often students get enamored with 3 dunun players and 2-3 jembe players.

It's even worse, many like to be part of big djembe accompaniment section, where their individual mistakes are diluted by the crowd effect.

another one to check out for the malinke style: solo keita - sanbarala folikan

dunun section features namory keita and his brother sidiman (RIP).

one sweet recording!

Did his brother die? Thas is so sad. Did Namory tell you that workshop weekend?

Didn't know that. He was famous for his dunun playing. Will listen to the album in commemoration...

By chance I got this album this summer! It has a good recording quality (sangban in particular is very well heard), and a number of rhythms I had never heard of! Like, the first track "Diagba" - looking at the name, I expected some variation of djagbe/madan.. nope, it's something different.

yea there's alot of tracks that sound very similar to each other but with different names.
