[@motamanifest]

My brother, peace and blessings. Loved this. Saved.

[@kanseretian260]

Great, I'm learning African music, and I really hope more people can hear your music.

[@sonyaevans2293]

Habari !!! Very very very excellent !!! Very calming, soothing to the soul...i went to sleep earlier, and i did'nt even know i had snoozed listening to the drums !!! ALLAH U AKBAR! ALHAMDULILLAH! SUBHAN'ALLAH!

[@tobiasfatherbornkingthejed1344]

Amazing pop/slap on that Djembe. Sounds like Goat 🐐 skin... Been playing the Djembe 20 years at least...

[@kwameWhittaker]

[@narbellmano4953]

Pure Musicalité, l'ensemble est à l'affût du moindre appel, tout est incroyablement précis, mais avec quand même cette attitude détendue et détachée, qui nous ferait presque croire que c'est "facile" alors que c'est une magistrale leçon de pure musique et de communication.Bref, du grand art. Quand je pense aux imbéciles ignorants qui se croient supérieurs parcequ'ils sont blancs..... Bravo messieurs, et merci pour ce cadeau, car dans votre musique il y a toutes les musiques du Monde.

[@Tbro13oo]

Narbell Mano, what you say is both categorically true and, as such, profoundly resonant. (

[@matdread1706]

Faut qu'un débile vienne nous parler de couleur de peau sur un truc aussi magique et magistral... Si t'es pas content de ton épiderme et que tu penses que ça change quelque chose mets donc ta tête dans le cul de ta femme !❤

[@matdread1706]

Ça me fait halluciner de lire des trucs comme ça. J'imagine qu'en plus monsieur se croit antiraciste ou ce genre de chose alors que ce que monsieur a écrit (bon ça fait trois ans avec un peu de chance il est devenu moins con) est du racisme d'une pureté Cristaline 😢

Que de bon souvenirs quand je faisais à mon très modeste niveau des percussions africaines. Très belle prestation.merci à vous 🪶💚👏

[@heidialina]

WHAATTT??!!! Wow, this was too much fun. Love your style and technique, Bassidi! Tasty use of the 3rd slap sound too. BTW everyone, this was posted as a Djembe SOLO (just to show djembe fola skill) - that's why the entire group isn't playing throughout in this video. The group is only responding to calls and adding tastiness to this solo.

Is this the root of salsa and samba music and here in the United States of America our African American community plays a similar drumline with the drill teams and go go music from Washington DC.

ou trouvé une bande son de l'accompagnement de balafon pour pouvoir joué du djembé par dessus , cette mélodie et bien pour débuter

[@MyKingjames3]

Very good talent, but love the "Unity" of drumming rather than solo speed and rudiments....Remember we are a people of dance, groove and soul...God Bless you all..

[@Running-withscissors]

I wondered about that as I watched (I am not a drummer) but seemed like a pretty disciplined performance with broad strokes of direction or was this even more composed and formed in advance?

[@kalprao]

Those are not rudiments that he's playing. Bassidi is literally speaking a language with the Djembe out of his own inspiration and creativity.

[@MyKingjames3]

@@kalprao....I hear rudiment patterns in the language spoken on the drums....My drumming ear is different being from America, where we are Blessed and highly favored of Father GOD through JESUS CHRIST....Blessings to you all "Motherland."

[@jamierf668]

massive talent. I waited the whole time for the group to jump in; never happened. So why are they all lined up behind?

[@fjeinca]

Jamie R F No disrespect yet they all jumped in, several instances. You missed them all?

[@AuntyFreyBurger]

This was an impromptu recording that I took for Bassidi for his application for PASIC16, taken straight after a rehearsal. The guys up the back had already been playing for 2 hours straight and were merely just hanging out up the back, joining in when they wanted.

[@liamsmith364]

Freya Manning what camera did you use to capture this?

[@AuntyFreyBurger]

Liam Smith I recorded it on my Canon EOS with Bassidi’s djembe as a tripod. This was Bassidi’s audition for the PASIC 2016 conference in Indianapolis. He was accepted in.

[@AuntyFreyBurger]

Jamie R F This was an impromptu recording I took after Bwazan’s 3 hours rehearsal. Very last minute plan, so I think everyone expected Bassidi to finish up much sooner then he did! The video was used as Bassidi’s audition for the PASIC16 conference in Indianapolis.

[@AlphonceQ]

Is that a gyil playing in the back?

Been wondering that for years. I’ve seen very few on several websites but the price is close to $1k USD. I own a couple but still I would love to own one of these

[@hatuntinya1377]

QUE GRANDES

[@JedTaneo]

How did the guys in the back know their part? Is this song written on sheet? I wanna know. I am so curious and impressed.

[@ericsavadogo5117]

Jed Taneo With the djembé it’s about phrases. For transition there are specific phrases. If you listen carefully you will notice that before the phrase he slow down the rythme and then the phrase come and the guys in the back reply. I am a drummer

[@motamanifest]

@@ericsavadogo5117 I second this.
