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:

Yankadi/Macru
Kassagbe
Illesa
Mahi
Kpanlogo
Bouche Baguette
Djansa and finally
Kakilambe

Here’s a photo from the Gym including the great backdrop of gongs:

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.

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