The music of Faso is an inexhaustible source of sweetness. It allows us to plunge deep inside ourselves and at the same time resonate with our fellow man, Yé Lassina Coulibaly❤❤❤❤❤❤

Outstanding arrangements, outstanding players - this is gold.

The Gangan was originally a message-conveying instrument. It is used to send messages to as long as 20 miles. With phrases that mimic human speech. This is why it is usually only played alone. Over time, it is now used in music as a side instrument or as main percussion instrument.

That was one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard!

[@oluwakayode556]

Nice music indeed. I like Kofo's music very much likewise my 10 years old son. He inspired my son with his talking drum.

[@theifeakinremi]

[@ianstukenborg437]

i bought a Talking drum about ten yrs. ago. It didn't seem to respond well to my attempts at playing it, i figured it was because it was a cheaper model but it looks real nice so i used it for mantle decor. The other day i got my grandkids play fighting after watching the Stephen k. hayes intercepting Attacks and Taking control video (i don't know you, that's my purse...lol) so i grabbed up the drum to get them some fighting rythym going and it actually sounded quite nice. Now that i see the technique i should be able to do a litle better. Had plenty of practice with the technique as achild in elemntary school with the making fart sounds in my armpit thing. lol (good times) THANKS FOR THIS VIDEO!
