Dancing in Mali to the Djembe

Rootsy Records is based in Mali and has a collection of videos and loads of information on the djembe.  Listen to the interviews with various drummers and read articles about the masters!

From Bamako, Mali these dance videos give examples of the different styles relating to traditional djembe dance.  Sogonikun, BamanaFoli, Dogon, Tansole, FulaDugu, and Sounou dances are all shown in a basic format so that the student can easily see the breakdown of movement.
