I'm pretty sure everyone who has followed Mamady Keita knows that he passed away recently and I was hit hard and my heart sank when I found out about it. He was definitely one of my inspirations as a African drummer I thank God for him and every Djembefola master elder in living and passed on to the spirit life because they laid down and paved the way for drummers like my generation and generations after to learn cherish and carry on these traditions they passed down to us and following generations. Thank you to every Djembefola master and grand master for your knowledge and wisdom of the tribal music we call hand percussion drumming. It has inspired and encouraged myself and my generation and generations after me and you all are blessings to us drummers around the world. Each step to retaining our drumming traditions culture history and heritage with respect and honor with spiritual valor. My love and respect to all of my african brothers and sisters in the Continent of mother Africa. Blessings always.

For those who wish to turn this into a competition between 'real' Africans and Africans in the diaspora. True seed from the Motherland was disbursed by the currents , winds and hurricanes... creating what we now call the African diaspora... we witness the fruit of those seedlings sprouting in foreign soil between the cracks in the concrete, asphalt, rocky hill sides and dry dirt....we as spectators must concede and exalt the seeds stamina, resilience and instinct for survival in these hostile places. Try and see this from the heart. The survivors.....ie. 'WEEDIE' can only hurt you if you hate them from the start.

I agree with you brotha man. It's the one thing that brings unity to the African drumming world. It also helps when having the Djembefola masters come and teach us the knowledge of not only the rhythms also the history of the djembe's dununs mandinka drums and so forth. This is the history that they tried to steal from us but we wasn't having it back in them days. And still going strong in the states. I have been drumming since 06/03/1984 and I always learn what I can about the drums themselves and the rhythms and their history and lineage

@@zshakur I definitely was blessed to learn how to play. Even though a lot of what I learned was self taught and I didn't have a Djembefola master to teach me but I had elders in my life that taught m what they learned over the years and I basically developed what skills I do have even though I'm not a Djembefola drummer master I have learned barely en ugh to get my kind researching more about djembe's and dununs and their rich lineage and history of the drums themselves and the rhythms. I still encourage myself to learn more and more no matter how much I know I always leave universe size spaces to learn as much as I can before God calls me home to heaven.

@@edwardmarcell2494 It is definitely a blessing! I started late (28yrs old. I'm 47 now) but I started playing Duns first, Which is still my primary instrument for performance or dance classes. I've had the blessing of having many Djembe' Folas to learn from; Atiba Rorie, Nick Spivey, Robert, Dante, Ibrahim, Ebo, Bradley Simmons, Teli Shabu, Khalid Saleem, my brother Bashir...to name a few. Hell, Baba Teli Shabu is teaching my children right now! SO the chain continues. Oh, and they all know Weedie too! My mother has owned Collage Dance Company for over 25 yrs, so I've been exposed to the culture my entire life. She danced for The Chuck Davis Dance Company in NY, before she moved to NC. Baba Chuck Davis (R.I.P.) followed her and established AADE which my brother toured with in his 20s and I performed with in my 30s. Most of the men I mentioned have been playing for over 30 yrs! Some are elders, some are in their 40s, but a few are in their mid to late 30s. All of them have been a part of AADE or Collage at some point. We are blessed to have SO many knowledgeable mentors to learn from, even to this day. Durham, NC is RICH with African drum and dance culture thanks in strong part to Baba Chuck Davis and my mother Sadiyah Shakur who paved a way where there wasn't one! It's been a true blessing to grow up in this community! I'm sorry for being so long winded, I just had to give props where props are due. "I am because they are."

@@zshakur that is exactly what we need here in San Diego California. God be willing we ever have the chance to meet in person I'd love to drum with you and learn rhythms that I never had the chance to play when I was younger drumming in my early years. I missed a lot but the knowledge that I was blessed with was that spark to the fire. Now I have been in learn mode and some up what I can and practice them to retain them. We have a nice bit of it already but just not enough. It lifts my spirits to hear that my brothas and sistas on the east coast are wonderfully carrying our motherland's traditions. Most high praise always.

Scott Faudree: my condolences to you and his whole family and just remember that he's your guardian angel now. I love this video as well. Another video that is a nice video is the rhythm Fura off of Ayou Wele album. Amazing rhythm. I'm a djembe drummer and I have been drumming since June 3rd 1984 and has been a blessing beyond belief and I'm thankful that I was taught by a few mentors in my community of Linda Vista back in the days. Most of what I have learned was self taught. O never had an actual djembe drum master take me under his wing sort of speak. Did you watch the second half of this video? It was intense seeing their hands move so fast. Watching videos like this encourage and inspire me to continue to grow and constantly learn everything about drumming. Stay inspired by the music brotha man. God bless you and you whole family always roots man

Something to definitely remember his positive works and efforts his dreams that he envisioned comes to life through your passion for drumming. Just remember my brother he ascended and was born into his spiritual life. His spirit journeys with you my brotha. Believe that. When my brother passed away in October of 1982 I was torn but when he came to me in a dream and said that he is alright I knew he was my guardian angel. We were very close he was 7 years older than me so he was like a father figure as well as a big brother. I still miss him to this day and always wonder what would it be like if he was here now? You and the whole family are in my prayers always brotha man. Your Drumming brother here in San Diego, Ca.

Been playing traditional Balkan and Middle Eastern percussion instruments for almost 20 years... And I hear this.. No complex solos. No extraordinary sounds coming from the instruments. No invasive complex techniques from other cultures. Just their psyche coming out on the drum. This music has soul. You can feel like you are there playing along. You can feel what they feel. It's magical in its own way. No foreign intrusions in their jam. This video and these people do what any great musician ever tried to do and they make it look so effortless.. I hope to witness something like this up close some day.

Its not a simple instrument to play. It will take another 20 years for you to play djembe in this level. These djembefolas are exceptional with techniques and improvisations. They have taken traditional solo phrases in to a new level. Its nice to see that they are united, humble and having fun while playing.

Very interesting and watching how their hands move so fast the way they do. I enjoy watching this video as a djembe drummer myself I learn watching this video the main thing I noticed is how everyone was having all out good time. I'm still trying to figure out what the brothas name is that is sitting in between weedie braimah and petite adama in the grey shirt playing the red yellow and green roped djembe.
