  • My visit with Salliou playing the cas cas on Gorée Island, Dakar, Senegal. January 5th 2018.
    GO FUND ME to help pay these musicians: www.gofundme.c...
    musicofsenegal...
    On my first trip to Senegal I met so many amazing musicians like Salliou, I vowed to return with better audio and video tools to help share their music. The money raised in the GoFundMe campaign will go directly to supporting these musicians making music and to help bring the traditional music of Senegal to the world! We're investing out own money in the gear necessary to record them.

    Amazing! I bet it’s brutal on the hands though. They’ve got to be heavy enough to swing around and then they’re making contact in front and back of hands, possibly hitting knuckles. VERY impressive.

    • @DaAle129
      @DaAle129 2 роки тому +22

      They don't even hurt your hands. They're very light, and the only contact is gourd to gourd. It's all in the momentum from the shake.

      Polyrhythms line up eventually, for example a 3/4 beat will line up with a 4/4 beat on the 12th beat. You play your bar 4 times, they play there’s 3. If they’re giving you a hard time that’s on them
