Rhythms for djembe, doundoun, sangban and kenkeni

You can listen to some rhythms for djembe, doundoun, sangban and kenkeni. We publish rhythms on this page including break (call, appèl) and echauffements. We were forced to shorten the solos because the popularity of the rhythms: the limit for datatraffic is threatening to be exceeded. We chose to keep the basic patterns audible.

Needless to say that you learn to play this music with a good teacher only!
