welcome women of rhythm monette marino nasira
keita and we're here to demonstrate an african rhythm from west africa from guinea played by
the malinkay people and this rhythm is played specifically when a woman makes a promise to god
that if god answers her prayer she will dance this rhythm and it's called moribayasa so
real quick for those of you that don't know anything about this instrument this is called
a djembe these are the dunun and the djembe there are three sounds that you're gonna
get the first is in the center of the drum that's called a base the next
one is on the side of the drum that's called a tone and the third one is
also on the side of the drum but you relax your fingers a little bit more and it's called
a slap slightly higher pitch so we're going to use all three notes in this rhythm you're
going to start with bass on your dominant hand tone on your dominant hand
tone on the non-dominant hand face again on the dominant hand and a slap
on the dominant hand put them all together and that's your rhythm mori bayasa so let's
play it together with our dunun pattern and we'll start slow so you can play along
with us and then we'll bring it up fast for you there's a signal that i play that's a fancy
way of counting to four goes like this thank you if you want to learn more about
