Microtiming by Rainer Polak

Jenbe Music in Bamako

Abstract:
"Playing with microtiming is a remarkable feature of musical rhythm in the Western Sudan. Both African and Western musicians and musicologists have time and again wondered at the capability of Malian, Senegambian or Guinean drummers to excitingly place notes on, next to, apart from, or in between expected points of time. This musical practice results from a complex interaction of different factors. This concept holds that the equal pulse base underlying African and other dance-oriented music is often inflected according to regular and constant patterns. Jenbe drummers, in particular, make extensive use of a limited number of sophisticated inflection patterns to enrich their playing in a specific manner. This paper addresses the drummers' microtiming both as a system and as a practice in the context of professional festival music in Bamako." (full text) by Rainer Polak

Seydou Dao & Foronto - Burkina Faso

Promo snimka Seydou Dao i benda Foronto iz Burkine Faso. Ovaj koncert je snimljen u siječnju 2007 u Bobo Dioulassu. Foronto inače na djoula jeziku znači feferon, dakle pale i žare, kao što možete i vidjeti na snimci.
Hvala Urošu što je sve ovo snimio i omogućio nam snimku.

Knjiga: Djembe, Method for Technical and Creative Development

U ne prevelikom izboru knjiga o djembeu nalazi se i ova knjiga sviranja djembea iz 2003.g. Autor Ivano Torre, prekusionist i skladatelj kreće od pretpostavke "Everyone can play the djembe!". Knjiga ne obrađuje kulturu Afrike i tradicionalne ritmove, ali je dobra ako želite unaprijediti svoju kreativnost i tehniku.
