Denabendunun, Denadon (Hamana, Guinea, W. Africa)

Billy Keita - lead djembe Sekou Keita - sangban Djoumet Camara - dununba Billy Camara - kensedeni (kenkeni) These guys live, play, and teach in Sangbarala. They start w Denabendunun (some call this “Lafe“) Denadon comes in at 4:24 Back to Denabendunun @10:37 w “Wadaba“ song Back to Denadon @12:17 w/song When Djoumet, on dununba, is demonstrating variations for Denabendunun, he drops a bell at 3:01, 2x’s in a row, then again @ 3:21, so if you’re playing along you will be in a different spot at these times in reference to the down beat. just an fyi. Overall this is a great teaching tool and jam session in one! Enjoy!
