Bouche Baguette recording

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.

Quick recording of Sinté

I recorded this tonight as an example of how we might play an easy version of Sinté.

 Update: Here’s another recording that mirrors how we play it in Kunundrum.  Sinté Recording 2.

April 28th Practice Recordings

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 Soli Des Manian with solo recording

Updated the Soli Des Manian rhythm page with a recording of the solo phrases.

Trying to update the rhythm pages

Since the original web site was lost, I’m trying to recreate our rhythm pages.  If there’s no recording, sorry ’bout that.  I’ll work on getting recordings of each rhythm we play and also a short description.

Added a page for Mahi

Mahi is a rhythm from Haiti.  It is the most recent rhythm we’re trying to learn off of Leo.

 This is the new Mahi page and here is an MP3 recording of Mahi.

Ok, the performance requests are coming in!

Welcome to the new Kunundrum Site!

Well, sadly the basement computer serving up Kunundrum went and died on us.  While we believe we can get a bit of the information off of it we’ve taken the step of hosting Kunundrum outside of Ken’s basement ;->.  Continue reading ‘Welcome to the new Kunundrum Site!’
