Sedu Balo and Mahawa Sidibe (Bamako 2012) Sogoninkun

This is a studio recording of the jembe piece, song and dance "Sogoninkun" performed by Mahawa Sidibe (song) and Maye Samake (dance) with the Sedu Balo Trio. This piece, too, is typical of the the region Wasulun. Sedu Balo: first jembe; Madu Jakite: first dundun; Alassane: second jembe. RP: recording, Bamako Jan 2012.
From a music-analytical and -theoretical perspective, it is interesting to note how in Sogoninkun the subdivision is seamlessly changed from quaternary to ternary and back, in the course of performance. Listen to the changes at 2:43, 3:08, 3:46, 4:23, 8:24, 8:38, and again within three seconds at 8:41.
