It is sooooo hard to wrap my western mind around a 9-count rhythm. LOL

[@rhythmicginger]

Did you see the "HA" on top of the riq? It shows the maker is Hassan Abdel Magid, who sadly recently passed away...

I was originally taught to count these odd-time cycles in groups of 2 and 3, so this would be: 1-2, 1-2, 1-2, 1-2-3, 1-2, 1-2, 1-2, 1-2-3, 1-2, 1-2, 1-2, 1-2-3, etc, with the 1s being on the downbeats (or accents). Do you count this way? I wondered why you always did the full count to 9 in this excellent and inspiring demonstration!
Edit: I had mistakenly put the counts of seven above; it has now been corrected to 9/8 time signature. Sorry for the error!

[@yafterman]

9 is the time signature, 2-2-2-3 (for the sake of the comment) is the sub grouping of the time signature. i counted the 9 to demonstrate a cycle of 9 beats.

[@mokoforever]

Yshai, do you ever come to the United States? Your playing is exquisite!

[@yafterman]

Thank you! I have been to the states many time.. i dont have booked dates at the moment, but im sure i will be back sooner or later :)

[@mokoforever]

Yshai Afterman I saw on FB that you’re friends with Roni Eytan, the chromatic harmonicist. He played at my jazz club a bunch of times; he’s a great kid and great musician!

[@MsLiboma]

Lovely playing ! Nice Riq too ...what make is the riq ?

[@thetownwaites118]

Looks like a Hassan Abdel Magid by the H A on the side.

[@missbutter81]

What is the brand of this riq?

[@yafterman]

+Whitelotus Ahmad Al Magid, Cairo

[@lucasjansen1117]

was this composed or improvised?

[@yafterman]

Lucas Jansen the very first phrase is a structured idea.. other then that its all improvised.

[@lucasjansen1117]
