"Diansa (Dansa, Yansa, Diansa) originally comes from the Kassouke-people Kayes of Southern Mali.
Originally it was a competitive dance for the young men, but these days it is a popular rhythm, played all over West Africa. In Mali in earlier days, only two bass-drums were used.

This is great and I love the over the head angle. I agree Dunnun parts would be great too!
Oidan says:
I think it is great. I also agree that it would be eeven better with dunnun parts. Also, it would be great if we could hear the parts played together after seeing them played individually.

This is great! When I'm home alone practicing, I can never remember the beats. Combining the close up video and the notation was exactly what I needed to take my practice to the next level. THANK YOU!

Use these videos to learn the rhythm, but don\'t copy the bad technique for tones and slaps... you should be hitting your drum so that the fatty part of your hand where your finger meet the hand is hitting the rim.

Thanks for posting these accompniments for Djansa. Just enrolled in TTM in Winston-Salem NC and we covered this rhythm. It\'s good to use a learning tool.

I think the first sound on the Call given for Kuku and Diansa should be a \'Flam\', not a \'Tone\', that\'s what the player in the video seems to be playing, might be wrong or seeing things as I\'m just starting out
