Ibrahima Diabaté a.k.a. "Bourama"

Last weekend there was a great workshop of the Khassonké dunun in Brussels with Ibrahima Diabaté - a great musician and a very good teacher.

The guy explained a lot of interesting stuff concerning the Djelifoli rhythms. It seems that for the Khassonkés, the Dansa, Garankedon, Sanja, etc., are all part of the Djelifoli rhytms. This would explain why they are frequently played consequtively, and why all have the same feeling. Good to know.
