This is gold! All these rhythms are also popular in Nigerian music, specifically the South-East Ariaria (6/8) and Highlife (4/4). Awesome work man 👌🏾

Fantastic lesson. Thank You! I heard the Balkan 7/8 is based on the division of the index finger- 123-12-12 or long-short-short.

[@cgarrote92]

Kiko Freitas, famous brazilian drummer, said last week on a KZbin interview video, those odd meters rhythms from Bulgaria, Macedonia, and other Eastern European regions are closely related to their culture where they believe odd numbers are life, they're somehow imperfect geometric figures, so it will always take you to the beginning of the cycle. On the other hand, 4s are squares, so it's the end of the cycle, it's usually associated with death. Great videos, awesome content, all the very best to you and your team!!

[@thepanafricanman]

Very, very intetesting.

[@WorldMusicMethod]

Thanks Carlos. I've played with a Chico Freitas in Brazil, one of those guys who can annoyingly play any instrument very well. Son of Carlinhos Brown and grandson of Chico Buarque so can be expected. That's interesting. A different culture and association with numbers makes sense.

[@globalministrykenyachapter4417]

Edd quite elaborate just like you said where do the cord sequence in these various genre originate from?

[@jor_dasan1810]

Greetings! the last rhythm is quite resembling to a type of folk music pretty common in Colombia and Venezuela, called "música llanera" or "music from the flatlands" Though the Senegalese rhythm uses major chords and the Joropo uses minor or major harmony, the beat is quiet similar from one another. There's plenty of variations. Here's a sample. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4HbY2Orl7yXkK8 I'd say we Colombians/Venezuelans inherited the beat from Africa and mixed it with Spanish "cante jondo" and native South American music. Best regards and thanks for this beautiful and wonderful music and lessons

[@albertadumoah6944]

Good work done lovely bass player Mr Ed Bateman, and good drummer rhymed very well. I will ask if you could on your subsequent videos delve into the highlife from Ghana 🇬🇭 and Nigeria 🇳🇬 respectively if could please. Kudos to you both. Lastly, I'm so amazed as to how a westerner can play beautifully to an African tunes. Lovely. Long life Ed and all sundries. Bravo 👏

[@WorldMusicMethod]

What are your favourite Ghanaian highlife tunes?

[@tomaya2]

Splendid !

[@רקשיבא]

מדהים, מלמד מאוד

Nice job

[@niasboiii]

I am trying to order currently but the website won't let me chose any payment method. Keeps having the loading sign of a circle moving. I think it's finally time to start doing some cool bass and drum grooves.

[@WorldMusicMethod]

Are you using Google Chrome. Looks like there is a temporary issue with checkout loading. Have you got another browser you can open on or open it from mobile?

[@WorldMusicMethod]

Issue is resolved now. Thanks a lot for pointing it out.

[@LevisSparkz]

How can someone play and teach at thesame time..???? Respect from the respect guy

[@WorldMusicMethod]

Well I wrote some songs but I wasn't a very good singer so I brought a singer into the studio and they recorded some nice stuff and then quit. So I found another singer and this happened 4 times so I thought, hang on. I have a mouth, a body and vocal chords so why can't I try to sing. At this time I couldn't even talk and play bass at the same time so I just started practising and now I can do it easy. So that means you can aswell

[@danielnathaniel3440]

Pls kindly post the beginners lesson please

[@WorldMusicMethod]

Hi Daniel. Try this one kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYikmXSmotx3ndU it's Soukous bass at a slower tempo

[@oluwatosinolatayo628]

Yeessssssssssss

[@jimmynickles828]

Great juxtaposition

[@ogolodaniel4216]

Nicely done, but that is just one specific genre of African music . What you are playing is called Makossa. But still a great job. Not many people outside Africa play such. 10/10

[@WorldMusicMethod]

Thanks.

[@markiese4185]

Because they walk drunk all the time =D =D =D No but seriously, I think the odd meters come from the dances (instead of the walk) so once you experiment with the steps of the circle dances the music has to go with it eh op there comes 11/8

[@WorldMusicMethod]

But wouldn't that mean people were dancing in groups before there was music to dance to?

[@Marco_Tai_Sekai]

@@WorldMusicMethod mauve they were dancing on natural Mystic vibes 😇
