A Little Bit About the Drum and The Moribayassa Rhythm
.jpg)
I thought I'd finish yesterdays conversation about parts of an African Rhythm including some notations for you from the app by Monette Marino. It's only offered on apple and called MoRhythm.
Here is a set of dununs or djundjuns or junjuns. I sold mine thinking after not playing them for 10 years I should let them go and did. They are not the easiest things to lug around and I always took 4 of them...workout!
The rhythm Moribayassa is a very old rhythm and plays an unusual role in the life of women when the have a very big problem. A woman is only allowed to dance it once in her lifetime. The rhythm is played exclusively for this joyful dance.
One way the rhythm is notated.

Thank you. I know my subject is a little different than most. I'm glad you liked it.
How very interesting! I love learning about the different cultures and what a great job you do explaining. I am impressed with your skills still intact!
I am sure that your hands must be toughened up a little by now with the fooling around you have been doing! :)
Nice post! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you but I'm questioning this...in front of the camera shyness I have. I'm pushing myself to do this and know I could do a better job if I wasn't looking at a camera lens but it is quicker to get the information. I'm hoping I get better but I have reservations.
Wow! You are a real drum addict! Very extraordinary for a drum-lady!!

There are several of us drum ladies that like this type of music and have been playing it for over 20 years.
This is great! I play the "djembe" on my electronic kit. I didn't realize that certain rhythms are for certain ailments or goals akin to a prayer with all of those rituals. Great to hear you starting to tap around.
