Jembe drumming, song, and dance (2007) madan wurukutu speed limit

As so many jembe rhythms, especially those associated with the ethnic group of the Maninka (Malinké) to the south and west of Bamako in Mali and across the Guinean border, the piece "Madan" comes as a suite of two sections, a first one for the slower tempi at the beginning and a second one for the fast tempi towards the end of the piece. In order to be abale to still push further the beat tempo, the cardinality of the beat subdivision is reduced (here, from 4=quaternary to 3=ternary subdivision; in other pieces, frorm 3 to 2). The second part of Madan sometimes as called simply Madan, too, or, "the changed Madan" (Madan yèlèmalen); sometimes, it is called Wurukutu. Here, the change takes place at 1:33.
The players are Drisa Kone, Sedu Balo and Madu Jakite; recording: RP
