Pozdrav iz Conakryja

Pozdrav iz Conakryja nam šalje Martin preko svog photo bloga, s radionice u gostima kod Mamady Keite. Martin, Nenad i Kruno upravo ostvaruju jedan od svojih snova: provode vrijeme u Gvineji svirajući djembe s najpoznatijim majstorom djembea.

Baba Kone

Baba Kone began his musical career in his home country of Burkina Faso aged seven, learning from his family, traditional storytellers and musicians in the Mandinka tradition, known as Jeli or griots. Together they played at weddings, celebrations, and ceremonies. At thirteen he was invited to join the internationally touring Burkina Faso Ballet Nationale as a percussionist with his father. “I used to be with all the best players in my country, and so I got to hear everybody’s hands.” At eighteen he formed his own award winning group, Yerelon, with local musicians from other families. Now, he is dancer and musical leader of two London based groups, Jeli Masa and Malinke.

Djembe links database

Dolje desno na ovom web siteu možete vidjeti kolekciju linkova o djembeu, barem oni koji su mogli biti locirani prema svom nazivu ili sadržaju. Cilj je na jednom mjestu imati popis svih djembe relevantnih web odredišta, s kasnijom nadogradnjom označavanja njihove popularnosti, korisnosti, vizualnosti i sl.

Naravno, tu nisu još ni izdaleka svi djembe linkovi, tako da su vaši prilozi ovoj bazi linkova dobro došli. Za sada nisu uključeni ni linkovi djembe umjetnika, bandova, festivala.. takva klasifikacija zaslužuje svoju posebnu bazu.

A Life for the Djembe: Traditional Rhythms of the Malinke

Knjiga koju smo nedavno nabavili i koja nas je oduševila, Mamady Keita "A Life for the Djembe: Traditional Rhythms of the Malinke" . Na jednom mjestu sve o Mamady Keiti, njegovom pogledom na kulturu i tradiciju, Gvineji, Malinke, povijest, te 60 ritmova koje bi svaki djembefola morao znati, u notaciji, ali i na priloženom CD-u.
