"Tiriba (Triba) is from the Laduma-people, from the Boke and Boffa area in the West of Guinea. Through the years Tiriba has been given different meanings. In the oldest period Tiriba was a great dancer who performed with a group of percussionists. Dancing in a special costume he was called "the Tiriba" . This Tiriba-dance is no longer danced, but the rhythm is played very often. Later the rhythm got popular with initiations, as girls became woman; a dance where mothers and their daughters dance together. The rhythm is a ternairy rhythm, but there is also a "modern" binairy version (by Arafan Touré)." c WAP-pages. Paul Nas.

The very first two notes of the call is not a flam. It\'s more like two separate but close notes, thus the first 2 notes and the next one sound like a mini-roll. I hope this helps.

Would it be possible to slow down the three video lessons? Or have the option to play at slow, medium then fast? Also could GDgdPT be used for the notation as an option? Simply cannot keep up, Pa and Ta get knotted up. I guess I need a lot more practice exercises under my belt before attempting kuku!

I have the same as Bluejay... The call was the same. Tiriba 1 was also, but just started with the left hand and Tiriba 2 was very different from this number 2. Otherwise fun to watch and of course also fun to learn these patterns!

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.
