I highly recommend watching the documentary about this man and his life if you can find it. He was young and it was on film, french maybe. Well, let me tell you, The Witch Doctor literally marked him with goat blood to be the best drummer ever from birth, the chosen one who left his small village to make his mark on the world. the scene where he sees his father again for the first time after leaving is one of the most moving things I've ever seen. I am truly a fan of this man.

it is if you have the right teacher. you could learn really quick in africa, because they teach by using phonetics, ie singing the sounds, then you end up wiring your hand movements to the music you make in your head with drum language, kra ka ta ta , ka kra ka ta ta, kra ka ta ta ta ka. you don't think much about your hands at all when you have enough practice.

Ya'll are getting to deep within this. Drumming is for both rituals, fun, and just something to do. It's not always as deep as you might think. I know this because I am a drummer. The captain of my team, and I know this rhythm and many more. It doesn't need hat much concentration, just timing. Yes, it is complex, but not that much. All you need is rhythm, the ability to keep timing, and to play with both hands, when it comes to dundun, songba, and kinkeni.

May his teachings live forever through those who had the chance to learn from him in person.blessed is those who have faith in the higher power of the holy creator and know that nothing is done in vein. God has a reason for what he says and does. Thank you Lord for our Grandmaster Djembefola Mamady Keita and his teachings legacy and lineage. An icon reborn into the spirit.
