Traditional Djembe Playing in Senegal

[@QbanLo405]

This is awesome footage! Those women know how to work it and put they thing down flip it and reverse it LOL! My lineage is from Senegal and it makes me proud to see footage like this!

[@mikeleza]

Wow, talk about the perfect example of how you can take one accompaniment and make 3 or 4 individually different sound rhythms just by have different tempo feels. Incredible playing, just love it! THANKS

@wakold You are so right! People in places like these still know what life is about. They haven't lost their orientation like the socalled developed.

[@cdcsamira]

@WitnessTheDevine Cool Bro. Thanks for the information. It is amazing how tribes travel across nations.

[@mariamsans]

beautiful and strong women!

[@famu87]

No, the drummer doesn't have to know anything about the dancer. The djembe drummer connects to the dancer(s) spiritually and they communicate through the rhythm. I experience this every time I play for dancers.

[@amoruah]

Haha nice...Its funny how they just come dance for like 5 seconds and then they just leave...hehe.

[@loudpack9600]

Hey Jeremy! Bring Back Rootsy Records bruh!!!

[@HaloedG]

Go to a Pentecostal church and you see African American women dance like this too....when the music is pumping...

[@1blackone]

lol so cool! i was expecting just purely ceremonial traditional drumming,then at the 30 mark they broke into jazz rythyms! (or is it jazz using djembe rythym?=P) nice vid!

[@cdcsamira]

The dancing looks more like from the Gambia with the hands and the feet. When the senegalese performs sabar, they usually kick their feet in the air with their hands, and they jump sometimes as well... if you understand what I mean... it is kind of hard to explain it.

[@Jonisfilm]

its small rings that make the tamborine noise, or how should you explain it :D theyre like small bells, cymbals...wtvr :P

[@mikeleza]

What is that first accompaniment and rhythm with the tempo changes? My Senegalese teacher Dibril, has taught me this accompaniment as "Domba" but only the fast version.

[@dealmeida369]

culture Linda

[@midesti]

I think it's ineresting that the rhythm and tempo seem to be determined by the dancer. I'm sure each player has an idea in mind of what type of person each dancer is, and they contour their playing to try to match it (while challenging the dancer). If you just heard a recording, it really wouldn't make as much sense.

@wolf1951: Generally in Muslim weddings, men and women guests would remain segregated. This area would officially be off-limits to the guys (except of course the drummers :D). The men would at that particular time be engaging in somber prayers and looooooooong guilt-inducing lectures by local Islamic clerics, while the ladies would waste no time in having fun.
