Kenkedenke: Yankadi/Makru

These two rhythms are generally played one after the other, as a dance of seduction. Traditionally, the girls would dance in a line facing a line of boys, checking each other out for the duration of the slow rhythm of Yankadi. Then at the sudden signal to Makru, they would pair off and dance as couples to the fast and furious 4/4 rhythm. Sometimes it is played returning to Yankadi again (and the dancers going back to separate lines). Na snimci izvodimo dva ritma, Yankadi i Makru, koji se i tradicionalno izvode jedan za drugim, a služe udvaranju. Potièu iz naroda Susu (Sousou) koji živi uglavnom u Gvineji. U prvom i sporijem ritmu plesaèi su podijeljeni u dvije vrste, djevojke su u jednoj, a deèki u drugoj. Gledaju se i odmjeravaju kako bi, kada poène furiozni Makru, poèeli plesati u parovima.
