And you ' ll listen to the bealafon today. Today we are obtaining together to share some of our story and also the drumming as well as also a different-we have a different story we ' re going to be - I ' m going to be sharing with you. They'' re not -they ' re not they'' re not going to like they ' re not comparable. people in Bambara. It's just like at the time people didn'' t understand exactly how to respond to that type of- to various -anybody various concerning the family members due to the fact that everybodys residence would look the very same and also this child came and also he looked different than everyone else in the family.So people was extremely baffled. Some individuals was assuming like a poor method, some people resembled judging him, some people rejected him. So the young boy, Samadhi was really displaced and his spirit was actually depressing. Samadhi could not play with every one of his good friends because he was similar to -everytime when he pertained to play with his pals, they would attempt to be like, "No, you are various than us, "and also stuff like that. So Samadhi was really feeling extremely injured. And he started to stop having fun with anyone, it was just him by himself, all the time. Even when it's a moon, everyone played, they have like a huge community play, however Samadhi is much like by himself. So someday there was another young boy named Mungulu. Mungulu saw Samadhi and he pertained to Samadhi and also was like,"Why are you much like always by on your own?" And Samadhi stated,"No, I don ' t like these individuals because they don ' t like me. ""So I wear'' t wish to be component of that. I wear ' t want to be around them."And also the young boy resembled," No, don'' t claim that.Don ' t state that, don ' t do that.
You'should not-what did they do to you?"Samadhi claimed, "I attempted to have fun with them as well as they didn ' t wish to have fun with me. I ' m not satisfied. " And'Mungulu tells Samadhi, he was like, "Okay, I comprehend, that, however what's your name?" And Samadhi claimed, "My name is Samadhi." As well as he said, "Wow, that'' s a big name." Your name is Samadhi, that named methods mercy, it mean I ' m sorry.It imply please. It suggest every one of that. You are that huge name. So you must- you must forgive them. You need to comprehend. You should follow your name and also comprehend them. Samadhi was like, "Oh okay, that makes sense. So I can, I can do that." So Mungulu informs Samadhi, "Please forgive them. Come with me and also allow'' s go to my neighborhood. My neighborhood is going to approve you.You ' re going to have fun with me as well as my area." And also Samadhi resembled, "No, I put on'' t want to. I don ' t desire to somebody to -to be mean to me once more or things like that."And Mungulu was attempting so difficult as well as Samadhi began to follow him. When he began to get up, he was like, "Okay." Mungulu was so delighted. He begin this song, which this tune has to do with like, everybody get with each other and play. Everybody get with each other and also have an excellent time. So Mungulu resembled, "Okay, allow'' s sing this tune for you." As well as we're going to commemorate this tale. So, that ' s when they were walking to -they were walking to Mungulu's community.And they start to sing this track like that. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ And when they were strolling, they were playing this music as well as everyone enjoyed. Both of them enjoyed as well as Samadhi simply quit. He resembled, "No, I'' m not going to go I stopped." And Mungulu was like, "Why did you quit?" He resembled, "No, I put on'' t -I wear ' t assume I can think what you're claiming. If I go, I ' m going to-I ' m mosting likely to have this very same problem that took place before. "So Mungulu was like,"No,'please, please. I ' m telling you, my community is extremely various. They ' re going to accept you. Every little thing'' s going to be all right. "Samadhi was like, they were still talking regarding it as well as Samadhi start to listen to the Mulungu's individuals community was like singing an additional tune, which such as, was calling the people, calling song. Like resembled, "Everybody come, everyone come.We are awaiting you. And also someone resembled,"Oh, your community called everybody to have fun with you. Is that true? "And also he resembled,"Yeah, what is that track? "And he start to play the song, ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ Therefore he begin to state that and when he hear that song, he was like, "Okay, I believe you now, so allow'' s go." He went to Samadhi's area. I suggest, he mosted likely to Mungulu's area and also when he got there, everybody was like, "Oh, you brought someone new below." They all- and also he presented Mugnulu to his community.And everyone was like, welcoming Mungulu with their hand on their heart. They were all like," Oh, Samadhi, I ' m sorry. "Everyone was like," Oh Samadhi, welcome to our community. Invite to our community." Everyone resembled that. He was very surprised as well as he was like, "Whoa, all right." So he accepted. He resembled dancing with them as well as speaking as well as chatting with them. As well as after that, he came to- he concerned Mungulu.He claimed to Mungulu,"Why are your individuals, your community was pertaining to me and also they all resembled, saying hi to me, and they all were like placing their hand on their heart, as well as claim hi to me and invite me? Why?" And also Mungulu stated, "That'' s a great question, but I can not address it.'Let ' s visit Famudu. "He's the earliest." Possibly you can tell us what does that mean?" And they visited Famudu. And also Famudu claimed, "Right here in our neighborhood, we welcome people at this modern-day community, we invite people with their heart due to the fact that their heart can see.The heart you
saw- the heart can see. But we- when I see individuals with their eye." As well as he claimed- and also Samadhi was perplexed. He stated, "You claimed the eye can see. But you reached see individuals with your eye." He said, "I see you, I see you." He claimed, "It wear'' t make sense. " As well as Famudu stated, "Yes, all of this wear ' t make good sense since you assume when I said the heart put on'' t see and also you state hi with the heart, it's because when the heart sees people- If you see somebody like that, your eyes see the person.Your eyes see
what the person's putting on, what the individual look like, what the person's bringing to you. So the eye can evaluate before they even say hi to the person. However he stated, "When your heart sees someone, the heart don't see what shade you are or what clothing you're wearing, anything you wear your heart- You see the human being for who he is. To make sure that'' s why they what to say hi to you. They were saying, "We see you." As well as Samadhi was like,"Okay, that makes good sense."That ' s why currently when you go to the modern neighborhood, even now you ' re going to see a lot of individuals quit and also people welcome you, doing like the welcome or they say hi. Hi. Hi. To ensure that neighborhood, that culture point, remain there for for already, okay.And likewise the Mandinka Realm, like I stated once again, all of these things, we ' re going to speak about Sundiata, Geeta after the second part. For now, when someone obtained approved to Mungulu's community, they would certainly commemorate. They were like, "Okay, allow ' s enjoy currently, what are we going to do? We ' re going to celebrate along with our new friend."So to commemorate us -this one is called Coucou. So they constantly play that song. But currently I have some students right here, I believe from my Tuesday Afro Ensemble class. I wish to welcome them if they ' re right here, I wish to invite them on'stage. Yeah, I would love to welcome them below. As well as we ' re gon na play this track with each other. Like I'stated, it ' s a party song? So they ' re mosting likely to come.And additionally we have a whole lot of drums, so I ' m going to invite a pair more individuals. Anybody desire to come join us? A couple more individuals? Yes, you come. One even more, Much more. We ' ve got six. The amount of drums we obtained? Yes, come on. Just how lots of drummers we obtained? Come on, everyone. Not everybody. Come on number of people. We got more drums. A lot more drums. So today I'' m right here to share'. I ' m doing this presentation we do now is to share the culture and likewise to speak about where this tool comes from, and how this instrument and also this music was bringing individuals together back in the day in Africa where they didn'' t have -when they didn ' t have like all this interaction -or this cell phone when didn't have like a cell phone or electricity and also all this things. That'' s why I ' m sharing this. Okay, currently I obtained all my musicians here. Are you all set for the song, Coucou? Okay. So let'' s begin it. I'' m going - I ' m mosting likely to play the balafon for that. You all set, yeah? Okay, ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ Provide it up for them.
♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ One, 2. That was excellent, appropriate? Now we obtained musicians. We have drummer now. I assume we'' re missing something, right? Today we are getting together to share some of our story as well as the drumming as well as additionally a different-we have a different story we ' re going to be - I ' m going to be sharing with you. They'' re not -they ' re not they'' re not going to like they ' re not comparable. He was like, "No, I wear'' t -I put on ' t assume I can think what you're saying. That ' s why currently when you go to the modern-day neighborhood, even currently you ' re going to see a lot of individuals stop and individuals invite you, doing like the welcome or they say hi. They ' re going to come.And additionally we have a great deal of drums, so I ' m going to invite a pair more individuals.One as well as now pa pa pa pa. ♪ ♪ ♪ Pa pa pa pa pa pa . pa pa pa. and also he- and also when he'' s done he concerned give Maghan Kon Fatta's component, and also Maghan Kon Fatta was extremely concerned about his- uh, who'' s going to be his successor. I claimed that in French, that'' s going to be the next legislation. I imply, the next king. Okay, so he spoke to the Dozo man, he resembled, "I'' m concerned regarding something.'" "I wear ' t understand that ' s going to be the next King, can you help me with? "And the Dozo, they have like something -they can see -they can see things that are gon na happen or they can'see this story. That ' s their task. The Dozo individual was like," Okay, allow me see what I can see. " As well as he take a look at all this things and he thought, "Maghan Kon Fatta, it's mosting likely to be -one day there's mosting likely to be some hunters, two young hunters is mosting likely to bring a lady, I see like a over something." "So that'' s going to be your 2nd wife. "And also he resembled, "What?" As well as that better half was going to have an additional youngster which kid is mosting likely to be the King of Mande.So that was extremely complicated. It was really unusual. Everyone ' s like," What? Something didn ' t -hasn't occurred? ""No one recognized about this. "" You simply say things like, as if it has actually happened."Yet the Dozo was right. And already it resembled-some beef, like a buffalo. And also it-at some town resembled almost like eliminating everyone would come out at nighttime. It was an extremely mean buffalo. However that buffalo was doing that somehow also. It was not a genuine buffalo, it was someone that was changing themself and becoming a buffalo, to do that type of things. As well as there was 2 young-young children, they were going to quest, two young Dozo people they were mosting likely to hunt it. And they reached see this girl somewhere and she was starving, she was thirsty as well as they involve her as well as she was like- they shared their food and also their drink with her. And she was the one who was transforming herself to be the buffalo.So she told them,
"Okay- "She asked them what they are doing and also they state they'' re searching for this buffalo due to the fact that it's been really dangerous for the neighborhoods, so they try to look after it. And she stated, "Okay, I wish to offer you the secret how you men can get the buffalo." She taught them all the tricks, just how they can obtain the buffalo. And she resembled, "Yet when after you obtain the Buffalo, they'' re going to give you individuals like a recompense," like the girl, that'' s gon na be your remuneration, it 'd resemble," excellent task!"They're gon na recompense you which girl is mosting likely to be the Maghan Kon Fatta's 2nd wife. So they did that. They was like searching as well as they saw the buffalo and also they did the same point the girl, the old woman informed them to do. They did the exact same thing like that to eliminate the buffalo and also they did it. So when they did it, the means the story is portrayed the tale, every little thing happened like that. So they take the lady home, which her name was Sogolon Kondé.So they take Sogolon residence and take her to the king. Okay, take Sogolon to the king. And when they arrived, the king was extremely stunned. That ' s mosting likely to be his better half. Anyway, the long tale, Sogolon ended up being the kings other half. And Sogolon had one more youngster, which is the collection of the story. That kid'' s going to be the King of Mande. Which kid that come would be Sunjata Keïta. When Sunjata was birthed, he was birthed handicapped. He couldn'' t walk. As well as during Sunjata was birthed, he was burdened during. And they resembled -"This is exactly how you guys stated -the first better half was like,"Well you said this is going to be the king, he can not be the king." "He can't even stroll and all this." It was extremely unusual at that time.And Sunjata's
mother was really not in a great place since everyone was stating a great deal of stuff, negative things to her as well as stuff- she was like truly, truly having a difficult time due to the fact that of Sunjata. And one day she went to ask her- Maghan Kon Fatta's initial spouse if she can have some food and things like that. Anyway, Maghan Kon Fatta's first other half didn'' t -she was not good to her. So she did something bad to her and also she was crying. As well as Sunjata was not very happy. So Sunjata claimed he was going to obtain up. It was in the story that Sunjata was
going to obtain up one day.So Sunjata claimed," Today, I require to rise."They went to get hold of like all this kind of like big, large, solid team, attempt to aid Sunjata to obtain up. Absolutely nothing was functioning. Absolutely nothing was functioning. Till like his mama brought like one branch of a tree. That branch of the tree assisted Sunjata to rise. And also when Sunjata rose, it was-wow,
it was a miracle.But nobody might believe it. See, no one could believe it, "Wow, Sunjata is up." And also now, Sunjata is up currently it resembled- he had to attempt to be like a competitor currently for his- I suggest he tried to aid his mommy or attempt to be like, "No, you individuals can not treat my momma like that." "You guys can't do that." He was mosting likely to defend his mother. When he obtained up, he was so strong. Sunjata would certainly try to verify every little thing, as well as his sibling- his sibling was believing- because he believes Sunjata was happening the King, he didn'' t want Sunjata to be the king. So he intend to resemble a big partnership with another king, which was Soumaoro Kante, to begin to eliminate Sunjata to vanish. So Soumaoro Kante was really solid. So he got Sunjata to vanish. Sunjata obtains away to the village.He wasn ' t also component of the story any longer. Sunjata didn ' t provide up since he was attempting to get back -to take the land back, since that land was for him. He said he was intended to be the king, yet they kicked him out. Sujata went out for like a couple of years and also things like that. Try to obtain like a various, different people together, a different whole lot. As well as at the very same time, Soumaoro Kante, he did the very same point he did to Sunjata, he was doing the exact same point to a whole lot of various, different communities.So everyone was
not delighted with Soumaoro Kante being the King of the Mandinka because he was not a good person. He was not dealing with the Mandinka people right. So everyone was kind of like waiting on Sunjata to try to come aid them, or who was mosting likely to help them? Soumaoro was very, very powerful. Nobody could. However Sunjata was the one. Besides this, he came back and also he got to fight Soumaoro. I tried to cut this tale a little down due to the fact that it was like in a lot of various areas. They reached such as a divide. It occurred like, 17 battles, some people state. Some individuals state seven fights. Different, different areas prior to Sunjata can return and confronted Soumaoro Kante, which indicates like returned and also reach Soumaoro Kante. But when Sunjata returned, he did it. He got to deal with Soumaoro Kante, however the large the big- the amusing thing, I suggest, not amusing, but the actual point concerning that tale they stated at the battle, Soumaoro Kante just vanished at the end of the fight.Even till currently this tale, individuals -no one understands where Soumaoro Kante went. Some people-they know Sunjata wins the fight. However where is Soumaoro Kante? Some individuals claim he ends up being like a bird and vanish, some people say be changed to be like the water. Everyone states various things. That tale's still up there. Yet things I'' m chatting with you now about this Sunjata story, I understand to discuss this sort of tale is excellent when you- if my- if English was my language, it was mosting likely to make more feeling to you as well as I was mosting likely to understand how to go to such as, all these little, small information for, you recognize, for you to understand.But even after a year,
if anyone -any kind of component you didn ' t comprehend because my English clearly since the accent, really feel totally free to come to me as well as say, "Oh, this part, I was a little baffled concerning this component. What is this component?" I mean, I'' m going to try to explain it because this story is as well long and it'' s actually like- you obtained so several branches. It resembles one big tree, which has numerous, several branches, in a manner of speaking. So if I wish to talk regarding Sunjata's story in the Mandinka Empire tale, we would take like all day, all night here.You recognize,
but I'' m attempting to leap, leap, jump a little to see if it can make good sense. Okay.'So we ' re going to quit our Sunjata story below. I understand we have a time to-are we going to have time to have various other concerns? As well as additionally, we got extra music for you. So, Leslee, what do you believe we should do now? Should we play much more songs? We've obtained time for music? Okay, so now,'this next song we ' re mosting likely to play for you is called Boroto. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ Thanks. So currently this is a thing we call it the Voice of Djembe. Alright, so it's to reveal you all the- the tone and the put and the base of a djembe and what the djembe can do. Since this instrument, you have like, a great deal of different you see, like that it's just like one skin on top of it.And it is animal skin. In some cases goat skins, often cow skin, and the means the djembe was made in West Africa often it's like an unique- it's like some special tree they made the djembe, I imply it'' s not all sort of trees. Today with the you know, like I stated in the past in Africa it resembled a Djalairi or Lenke or Tomiyiri. Now you can see djembe is made out of all various kind of trees. It is- that'' s not a negative point however the djembe original was constructed out of those type of trees like that. You can't also see them in a great deal of areas. This tool is like- and the tree they were making the djembe from was like extremely spiritual trees. And also the pet skin you use it to place on a djembe have like a huge spirit too, you recognize it's an animal skin. As well as you a human being play the djembe that'' s like three large spirits together to make sure that djembe- djembe is the tool make extremely- is always like that.It's like also when you most likely to like some city, every city you go you wear'' t know anyone you go to drum circle and also things like that. You'' re going to see individuals having fun. You see 2 people would certainly get- take a djembe and obtain with each other and start to play. They'' re having a good time, you don't even know why. The instrument will have like a great deal of in it. And the tone as well as put and the bass is not like an adjusting or there is no like- you have to- there is one area where there's a run below. You can locate the tone or slap right here. You know, is all like regarding technique. You know, like you have to find out, you need to find out because the link between your hand and also the skin and also the animal skin. As well as likewise occasionally I go to some school when I claimed, it's the pet skin on the djembe, I even had one inquiry about somebody resembled, "No, that'' s not great to you understand to kill the animal for your djembe stuff.So I need to discuss to them as well as I claimed, "No you wear'' t- individuals just put on ' t -just go to the one animal simply due to the fact that your djembe is damaged. In Africa, same like below some individuals consume the meat and they use the -they make use of the pets skin to do a great deal of different points. We make use of to make a belt. We make footwear from it. We make a hat, a whole lot of different points like that. I'' m going to reveal you a little bit, a little bit different audio of this, this djembe.So you can see this is a put. And also this is the tone as well as this is the base. To make sure that when I'' m playing, you ' re going to listen to three'of them together. I'' m stagnating my hand or I ' m not looking for like any key or try to tune it. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ That was just to reveal you a little just how the djembe can make like 2 different -all those various sound, the tone and put are working together.And we and the hands are moving. So like this for example. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ Thank you. Okay, I believe we have a time to take a number of questions before we have- and we have one even more track for you I believe. Yeah. Yeah. This song. >> > > Leslee: Just how concerning that song that you- >> > > Adama: There'' s one point I wish to-I virtually ignored to shut the- to shut the Sunjata, the Sunjata track. To close the Sunjata or the Sunjata story. We'' re going to end with this song, however I lifted on. So allow'' s return to this tune. Okay. So the tune for that was when Sinjata went that was right after the wedding celebration, when they are when they combat versus Soumaoro Kante. It was a tune, the Griot individuals came and they sing this track as well as enjoy with this song.I mean, this song was to honor Sunjata or to claim thank you for helping us or thank you for simply conserving our area. Thanks for, you recognize, for whatever you did. That was a tune called- we call it Sunjata FASA. Okay, so you people start with that song? Okay, so we'' re going to examine gradually bit the very first point was a Okay, so allow'' s-I ' m going to begin it initially.
♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ All. We got it. Let'' s attempt again. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ Everyone. ♪ ♪ I'seem like I ' m vocal singing by myself. Because I can ' t listen to anyone. So let'' s try it one more time. Ready? One, 2, allow'' s go. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ That ' s good. So now possibly we can try that with the music, since I believe you obtained it currently. Ready? One more time. One, two, 3, go. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ Thank you. Thank you. That track- that'' s Sunjata's track'. There ' s like, numerous various, like I rehashed this stories long and the Sunjata Tune because when Sunjata came the Guinea people, the Mali individuals, the Gambia individuals the Senegal people, everyone was having like- creating some tune for him. There is some track where they call due to the fact that Sunjata, he was like- Sunjata call him like a great deal of different names.They were calling him like the King of Mande, The Lion of Mande, the Icon of Mande all that was in them. So various people have like -translate various track for him, you know. As well as after that you'' re going to hear Pa pa pa pa . One as well as currently pa pa pa. Pa pa pa pa pa pa. ♪ ♪ ♪ pa pa . Pa pa pa pa pa.♪ ♪ ♪ That's the rhythm.And the people be
like -they be like one, two, and also three. Like the relocation can be like that. When people obtain here at the village, they simply recognize like a really fast way to bring individuals to the hospital because the road is not good and occasionally there is no means to call an ambulance like there ' s no phone, it's not there.So many of the time they put- when someone obtains hurt, they take the person as well as if you have like some drums or they call each other and the people always, they run, they come they will certainly come when they listen to there is something going on, people start howling as well as things. ♪ ♪ ♪ That's the rhythm.And the individuals be
like -they be like one, two, as well as 3. They discuss like what, what it was previously, prior to even come to be like a dance on the stage. Like the relocation can be like that. Over there they have most like a- also like at the ballet, the ladies would do the mainly- they do the dancing and also the drumming as well as the vocal singing all of them. When individuals get here at the town, they just recognize like an extremely quick way to bring individuals to the hospital because the roadway is not excellent as well as in some cases there is no way to call a rescue like there ' s no phone, it's not there.So most of the time they place- when somebody gets hurt, they take the person as well as if you have like some drums or they call each various other and the people always, they run, they come they will certainly come when they hear there is something going on, people begin screaming as well as stuff.
