Malian dance classes with Brahima Coulibaly

There was a very good Malian dance course in Brussels this week-end with Brahima Coulibaly, one of the best dancers from Mali. He was accompanied by his standard crew and it is always a great pleasure to playing with these guys as the atmosphere is always very positive and the quality of the accompagning music is inspireing.

Regular classes with Brahima are held during the week in Brussels, but week-end courses like this one are often happening in Italy, France, and elsewhere.

Brahima is not dancing in this video, instead he is playing the djembe solo. Sometimes he just grabs an instrument close by and releases some nice beats. There are more videos with him dancing on the Facebook group of the organizers of the last event, Zazimut Asbl. There's also a blog with further info.
