Slow Dansa pattern... And the girl in blue

I totally agree with the author of the video: the girl in blue is much more interesting than the slow dansa ;)

Anyway, just to say something useful, a widely used djembe accompaniment rhythm for the slow dansa (dansa lent) is very simple:

1...2...3...4...
ttss.bssttss.bss

However, I noticed this djembe pattern to be very popular:

1...2...3...4...
s..bsss.s.T.tts.
(upper case is a flam)


Or, as in this case, 
1...2...3...4...
b.....s...T.tts.


In both cases, it is really very close to the basic dunnun pattern of the slow djansa, see an older post.


The djembe call is usually: 
1...2...3...4...
S.t.t.t.t.T.tts.
