In May 2023, Wontanara INC & Wontanara Percussions LLC took an educational trip to Guinea to learn more about the culture, lifestyle, history, economy, and more!
As a part of our mission we aimed to help the local artists with accomplishing a few goals for their group or company. One of the many companies we had the pleasure of assisting was the lgenendary “Boka Juniors.” Enjoy the moments with Wontanara Percussions LLC & Wontanara INC. with the performing company, Boka Juniors, to produce a very special video project live from Guinea, West Africa!
In this video you will experience original and energetic rhythms and arrangements from the group and it’s founder, the late great Ibrahima “Boka” Camara, see vibrant costumes, and witness the passion that comes from these talented musicians.
We are grateful to the members of Boka Juniors, Les Ballet De Matam, and the greater Matam community and artists for showing up to enjoy either as an artist or audience member!

Thank you!! Boka Camara is the name of the creator of the group. His son is actually a member and the youngest member but was not a part of this performance. But all would be considered his “juniors” as he trained all of them. 😊

Soo cool ma dudes. But still you can use a music professor to sync those different drum types and create notes. Believe me. Then it can transform from this music to a more melodical music. I mean african drumming has big potential but still place for improvement and teaching, with all due respect. Liked and subbed.

Amazing music! Why boka juniors? Is for the argentinian football team? Greetings from Argentina!!

“Boka Juniors” if from the man, Boka Camara- a Guinean, who created this group and tons of others and was truly a staple for Guinean music today. A lot of his breaks and music pieces are sampled in many djembe music today. Check out our page to learn more of him @wontanarapercussions ( & @wontanara.inc) on Instagram🇬🇳 And MUCH LOVE to Argentina & futbol!

It's amazing how many of these native drummers are on You Tube. Equally amazing is the fact that they all sound virtually the same. I can only figure that it takes very little talent to do that.

@Wontanarainc 2 ай бұрын

Yes very talented! Majority of them came from the same lineage of teachers especially within the ballet! You can sometimes know who their teacher was based off of the way they drum if you study it! You’ll hear their teacher’s style shine through in how they play or how they orchestrate the music.

@@Wontanarainc Pro musicians consider that real music has three components -- melody, harmony, and rhythm. These guy barely cover one out of three. And the repetitive nature is most monotonous (same patterns over and over) No change of timbre, no dynamics, no variety in arrangement, no variation in tempo or tonality. But I do like their pajamas.

@@darz3829 hmm interesting, but we would disagree. We don't think you are familiar with this genre of music and the technique behind it and stamina to do this for hours that they do at performances and rehearsals. each person covers the melody, harmony, and rhythm. And also, you need to listen to the bass notes and the dunduns in the back, if you just listen to the djembe then you have miss the mark in the music. They added many different arrangements, changed the lead instrument from djembe to dundun, and change the speed many times. We understand west African music is very complex for the average human ears to understand, especially if you don't have the background comprehension. But these are pro musicians, and like mentioned, their teacher's teachers taught some of their biggest pro artists- that you wouldn't believe- in the world within their ballet days. It's quite great actually when you know the history of djembe and who's who and where their sounds come from and how djembe changed the world of music, not just for west Africa but for many. Also, it's not pajamas, it's traditional outfits that we would like for you to respect- because I'm sure you don't want someone to look at you and demean the same for our regular clothing. But again, we understand the complexity of the djembe genre of music and know that most pro musicians we've worked with who have heard this think differently. It hits everyone differently we guess, and that's ok! Thanks for your comment though!

@@Wontanarainc You certainly are trying hard to justify a minimal activity. I can probably do the same thing with McDonald's hamburgers as a subject. You bring up teachers. I myself have taught music in elementary school and created drum circles. Little kids (2nd grade to 4th grade) picked this up in one session. Contrary to your claim of it being complex, the records I played for them as examples (virtually similar to this video) were easily copied by the kids. As for others demeaning my clothes -- I have a sense of humor and would laugh along with them instead of getting bent out of shape. Face it -- they DO look like pajamas.
