Kunundrum will be performing at WestFest 2010 at one of the side stages on June 12th around 11 am.
Hope to see you there!
Last night we performed for the Association Coeur Soleil benefit concert for Kinshasa street children. There were other great musicians as well including Grammy-nominated recording artist Alpha Yaya Diallo!
I updated the Performances Page. You can now subscribe to an RSS feed there and it should contain our upcoming performance (except we have none at the moment). What are you waiting for, book us now!
Last night we participated in a drumming event at the Dunrobin Sonic Gym. First the kit drummers discussed their passion for drumming, how they practiced and followed by examples of some of their favorite rhythms. Kunundrum performed afterwards several rhythms including:
Here’s a photo from the Gym including the great backdrop of gongs:
Added a rhythm page for Bouche Baguette along with a recording.
Added a page/recording for Sinte.
Here is the recording of Sinte.
Added a page/recording for Kassagbe.
Here is the recording of Kassagbe.
Wow, just realized it’s been a while since I updated this site. Here’s something that Bridget thought might be fun to perform. It’s works ok as a recording but works much better in person since there are some crazy stick in mouth action going on.Anyway, here is an MP3 recording of Bouche Baguette done by Ken Walker.
I recorded this tonight as an example of how we might play an easy version of Sinté.
Sinté Recording by Ken Walker
Update: Here’s another recording that mirrors how we play it in Kunundrum. Sinté Recording 2.
We got together with Leo Brooks to practice for our performance in Manotick on Friday. Leo brings the Balafon and some great soloing to Kuku on these recordings.
Friday we’re playing at The House of Lazarus fundraiser.
Updated the Soli Des Manian rhythm page with a recording of the solo phrases.
