The Bell part is double struck (Ta-Ta). The parts 1-5&6 may be
played continuously as one part. The upper notes in the doumdoumba
part are muffs. Enjoy if you will.

The doundoun variation here is a comnibation of two patterns (no
idea how they separate!) as taught be Sekou Keita from Casamance,
Senegal. Much funkier than the straight pattern, but the first is
helpful for a break when you're playing hard!

A classic feelgood rhythm from Senegal! The break phrase is repeated
three times before the call back to the main patterns.

This rhythm came from Abou Sylla of Les Ballet Africains fame.
The microtiming is not right so this is of limited use and some of
the parts come through OK. The doumdoumba part is incorrect I think
and this is how my Ensemble drumming teacher, Baba Leon transcribed
it.

efoum

file efoum21203.dbf >
Taught to me by Sekou Keita, a rising star from Casamance in Senegal.
He says the word Efoum means something like 'stomp', and danced the
word for us to translate, so it's a rough guess. a young people's
dance of celebration.

These are the Basikolo parts from African Drum Rhythms Practice
CD 5 plus a bass part variation that has a few more doundoun notes
added to it. Many of the parts for this rhythm are very similar to
parts for some other rhythms, like Tiriba and Doudoumba. It was taught
in an advanced class at a drum and dance camp some years ago by Ousmane
Sylla from Guinea

The last note of the first Doundoun rhythm coincides with the first
beat of the second doundoun rhythm. The first doundoun then comes
back in on the first beat after the second rhythm finishes (like a
call and response - it's a beautiful song they song to each other!).

Diansa (Dansa, Yansa, Diansi) is originally coming from Southern
Mali (Bamako) but is often played all over West-Africa. There is no
traditional Kenkeni part but these two will do fine. This rhythm example
is taken from http://members.tripod.lycos.nl/Wappages/ (Paul Nas)

This is just an example of how to use this page. The notation
is the same as on Practice CD 1 at www.djembe.net (notice the parts
which start with a lead-in *). In the third djembe part, the slaps
can be omitted. In the first djembe part, slaps can replace the
bass notes. The bell part can be played with "double notes" on the
second and third note to enhance it. This may be the most commonly
played rhythm in dance classes all over Sweden.
