Yes Steve, denfo + bafo stereo recording 😊

[@mateuszlaskowski3123]

Very cool, any direct inspirations? Sounds very Mali-like.

[@gerhardkerobeatfactory]

Sure, very direct ;-) The solo is inspired by the style around Kourouba.

@@gerhardkerobeatfactory Great, you travelled there? Could you share just a few words about why that region and who you played with?

[@gerhardkerobeatfactory]

​@@mateuszlaskowski3123 I have traveled the heartland of the djembe for around 20 years, Mali has always been my great love. There I also met Drissa Kone, with whom I subsequently toured Europe for many seasons. During this time, numerous CDs were made with SANZA. The subject recording is less about virtuosity and more about conveying a traditional piece from Mali. It is an excerpt of the beat2go video tutorial from my rhythm academy beatfactory.
