Learn the Kuku dance from renowned dancer and choreographer, Maguette Camara.
Kuku is the rhythm of the forest part of Guinea, in the region of Beyla. Although not part of Mandeng, this region was peopled by Malinke many centuries ago and still is today, the languages are rather similar which makes for comprehension to be possible. This piece is only played by the djembe of which two give the accompanying rhythm, while the solo is beaten on a big low djembe.

Maguette! Long time no see! How wonderful to dance with you again through your series of videos. It brought me back to classes you taught in 1993 at Fareta!

thank you for your vid! my intent with following your instruction is to gain back my coordination that got veryyyy buried under a disharmonious relationship with my personal power for years. : )
