www.cdbaby.com/... Master djembe drummer M'Bemba Bangoura in a rare perfoomance in his home town and country in Konakry, Guinee, West Africa last year.
Bemba is truly a treasure, in what I like to call the 2nd generation of known djembe masters and in a short list of the all time greats, in my opinion. Big bonus if ever get to break bread with him and get him laughing - got one of those laughs that makes you laugh even more!
Del Mundo Keita (who walks on w/ the Sangban at end) is an amazing, veteran musician. He and M'Bemba have been playing together for decades and they have a sibling-like rivalry. If you listen, Del Mundo isn't off-beat. Instead he purposely comes in with a rhythm that's a little slower in order to mess around with M'Bemba and put a wrench in the solo he just did. M'bemba stops Del Mundo from playing as part of a little act, pretending that DM doesn't know what he's doing.
Mbemba is a great drummer & a great person.. what just happened at the end? It looked like he nodded to the guy to come, then ... was it off-beat? off time? or off place?
Mamady Keita was smart to have hand-picked M'Bemba and train him in the Djoliba Ballet so many years ago - thank you for being you Bemba!
