Matche and his teacher Souleye Sidibe play djembe solo for Dansa. Matche plays in a very “Bamako” style and Souleye plays in a very “Wassolon” style.
We like this video because:
- We love these videos where two people play djembe solo with quite different styles. The contrast helps us hone in on the rhythm’s essence by spotting commonalities.

One response to “Dansa : Matche Traore, Souleye Sidibe”
There’s something simple and sweet about Matche’s playing in this video.
Souleymane’s solo seems a bit forced to me. IMO He does too many Wassolon style rolls on top of the music. It sounds “generic 4/4”, but it doesn’t sound very “Dansa”.
