Bamanafoli : Numuya

A great Video! A djembe group from England called Numuya plays Bamana Foli with Adam Bailey on solo djembe.

They’re not master drummers yet, but they’re well on their way. They are cooperative, they’re well-studied, and they have great feeling.

We like this video because:

• These guys could make an album and we’d buy it. They have good chemistry and it’s obvious that they study and practice. It’s inspiring to watch.
• It’s uncommon to see a group of western students playing so musically, and not deviating from the rhythm’s essence.
• It’s a good video for study. There’s some nice soloing by Adam, recorded clearly. It’s easy to make out what he’s doing.
