They ' re not -they ' re not they ' re not going to like they ' re not comparable. And also the kid was- he was really unique because why he was unique at that time in Africa, the time I ' m chatting regarding now, it ' s like a- it's like, right currently, we are we are in the 20s, alright.We are in the 20s. And also the young boy was like, "No, put on ' t state that.Don ' t state that, don ' t do that. I ' m doing this discussion we do right currently is to share the culture as well as also to speak about where this instrument comes from, and exactly how this instrument as well as this music was bringing individuals with each other back in the day in Africa where they didn ' t have -when they didn ' t have like all this communication -or this cell phone when didn't have like a cell phone or electrical energy and also all this stuff.So that ' s why I ' m sharing this.Currently the initial point you obtained to do, this is a drum call you'' re going to listen to, Pa pa pa pa pa pa pa. Pa pa pa pa pa . ♪ ♪ ♪ pa pa . and also he- as well as when he'' s done he pertained to provide Maghan Kon Fatta's component, and also Maghan Kon Fatta was very anxious about his- uh, who'' s going to be his follower. I said that in French, that'' s going to be the next law.I mean, the next king. Okay, so he spoke to the Dozo individual, he resembled, "I'' m concerned concerning something.'" "I put on ' t understand who ' s mosting likely 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 job. So the Dozo man resembled," Okay, allow me see what I can see. " And also he check out all this stuff as well as he believed, "Maghan Kon Fatta, it's mosting likely to be -one day there's mosting likely to be some hunters, two young hunters is going to bring a girl, I see like a over something." "To ensure that'' s mosting likely to be your 2nd other half. "And he resembled, "What?" Which wife was going to have another child which youngster is mosting likely to be the King of Mande.So that was extremely complicated. It was very strange. Everybody ' s like," What? Something didn ' t -hasn't happened? ""Nobody knew concerning this. "" You simply say things like, as if it has actually happened."The Dozo was. And also by that time it was like-some beef, like a buffalo. As well as it-at some village was like practically like killing everyone would certainly come out at nighttime. It was an extremely mean buffalo. But that buffalo was doing that for one reason or another as well. It was not an actual buffalo, it was somebody that was transforming themself and ending up being a buffalo, to do that type of stuff.And there was two young -young boys, they were mosting likely to search, two young Dozo people they were going to quest it. As well as they got to see this woman somewhere and she was hungry, she was parched and also they involve her and she resembled- they shared their food and also their beverage with her. And also she was the one that was transforming herself to be the buffalo. So she informed them, "Okay-" She inquired what they are doing and also they say they'' re searching for this buffalo due to the fact that it's been extremely dangerous for the communities, so they attempt to take treatment of it. As well as she stated, "Okay, I wish to offer you the secret how you men can get the buffalo." She instructed them all the tricks, just how they can obtain the buffalo. And also she was like, "But when after you obtain the Buffalo, they'' re mosting likely to provide you individuals like a compensation," like the lady, that'' s gon na be your compensation, it 'd be like," good task!"They're gon na reimburse you which lady is going to be the Maghan Kon Fatta's 2nd wife.So they did that. They was like searching and they saw the buffalo as well as they did the same thing the girl, the old woman told them to do. They did the exact same point like that to eliminate the buffalo as well as they did it. So when they did it, the method the tale is depicted the story, every little thing happened like that. So they take the woman home, which her name was Sogolon Kondé. So they take Sogolon house as well as take her to the king. Okay, take Sogolon to the king. And also when they got there, the king was very stunned. That'' s mosting likely to be his better half. Anyhow, the long story, Sogolon came to be the kings partner. And Sogolon had an additional kid, which is the collection of the story. That youngster ' s mosting likely to be the King of Mande. Which youngster who come would certainly be Sunjata Keïta. When Sunjata was birthed, he was birthed handicapped.He couldn ' t
stroll. And also during Sunjata was birthed, he was burdened during. And they were like- "This is how you people said- the first wife resembled, "Well you stated this is going to be the king, he can't be the king." "He can not also stroll and all this." It was very weird at that time. As well as Sunjata's mama was very not in a good area because everybody was claiming a great deal of stuff, negative stuff to her as well as things- she resembled really, really having a tough time due to Sunjata. And also one day she went to ask her- Maghan Kon Fatta's very first partner if she could have some food and things like that. Anyhow, Maghan Kon Fatta's initial better half didn'' t -she was not great to her. So she did something poor to her and she was sobbing. And also Sunjata was not extremely satisfied. So Sunjata stated he was going to get up. It was in the story that Sunjata was
going to get up one day.So Sunjata claimed," Today, I need to rise."They went to get hold of like all this kind of like huge, large, strong team, attempt to aid Sunjata to get up. Nothing was working. Absolutely nothing was functioning. Till like his mommy brought like one branch of a tree. That branch of the tree assisted Sunjata to stand up. And also when Sunjata rose, it was-wow,
it was a miracle.But no one might think it. See, no one might think it, "Wow, Sunjata is up." And currently, Sunjata is up now it resembled- he needed to attempt to be like a boxer currently for his- I mean he tried to assist his mommy or attempt to be like, "No, you people can not treat my momma like that." "You people can not do that." He was mosting likely to defend his mom. So when he rose, he was so strong. Sunjata would attempt to show whatever, as well as his bro- his sibling was believing- since he believes Sunjata was becoming the King, he didn'' t desire Sunjata to be the king.So he intend to resemble a large collaboration with another king, which was Soumaoro Kante, to start to battle Sunjata to go away. Soumaoro Kante was extremely solid. He got Sunjata to go away. Sunjata gets away to the town. He wasn'' t also part of the tale anymore. Sunjata didn'' t provide up since he was attempting to obtain back- to take the land back, because that land was for him. He claimed he was expected to be the king, but they kicked him out.So Sujata pursued like a number of years as well as things like that. Try to obtain like a different, different individuals with each other, a different great deal. And also at the exact same time, Soumaoro Kante, he did the same thing he did to Sunjata, he was doing the same thing to a great deal of various, various areas. Everybody was not pleased with Soumaoro Kante being the King of the Mandinka due to the fact that he was not a nice individual. He was not treating the Mandinka individuals. Everybody was kind of like waiting for Sunjata to try to come aid them, or who was going to aid them? Soumaoro was very, very powerful.Nobody could.
Sunjata was the one. After all this, he came back and also he reached fight Soumaoro. I tried to cut this story a bit down since it was like in a lot of different places. They reached such as a divide. It happened like, 17 fights, some individuals state. Some people claim seven fights. Various, different areas before Sunjata can return as well as challenged Soumaoro Kante, which means like come back and also obtain to Soumaoro Kante. But when Sunjata came back, he did it. He reached fight Soumaoro Kante, yet the huge the huge- the amusing thing, I mean, not funny, however the real thing about that story they said at the fight, Soumaoro Kante simply vanished at the end of the fight.Even till now this story, individuals -no one recognizes where Soumaoro Kante went. Some individuals-they understand Sunjata wins the fight. Yet where is Soumaoro Kante? Some people state he becomes like a bird and also go away, some people claim be altered to be like the water. Everyone says various things. That tale's still up there. But the thing I'' m chatting with you now about this Sunjata story, I recognize to discuss this type of story is really excellent when you- if my- if English was my language, it was going to make more sense to you and also I was mosting likely to understand exactly how to head to like, all these small, tiny details for, you recognize, for you to recognize. Also after a year, if any person- any component you didn'' t comprehend since my English obviously due to the fact that the accent, feel free to come to me and claim, "Oh, this part, I was a little confused concerning this part.What is this part?" I suggest, I ' m going to attempt to describe it due to the fact that this story is too lengthy and also it'' s truly like- you obtained numerous branches. It's like one large tree, which has a lot of, numerous branches, so to talk. If I want to chat regarding Sunjata's story in the Mandinka Empire tale, we would certainly take like all day, all night below. You understand, but I'' m trying to jump, leap, leap a little bit to see if it can make good sense. Okay.'So we ' re going to stop our Sunjata story right here. I understand we have a time to-are we going to have time to have other questions? As well as also, we obtained extra music for you. So, Leslee, what do you assume we should do currently? Should we play much more songs? We've obtained time for songs? Okay, so now,'this next song we ' re going to play for you is called Boroto. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ Thank you.
So currently this is a thing we call it the Voice of Djembe. Alright, so it's to show you all the- the tone and also the slap and the base of a djembe and also what the djembe can do. Due to the fact that this instrument, you have like, a lot of different you see, like that it's much like one skin in addition to it.And it is animal skin. In some cases goat skins, sometimes cow skin, and also the way the djembe was made in West Africa occasionally it resembles an unique- it's like some unique tree they made the djembe, I indicate it'' s not all sort of trees. And now with the you understand, 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 different type of trees. It is- that'' s not a poor point yet the djembe original was constructed out of those kind of trees like that. You can't also see them in a great deal of locations. This instrument is like- as well as the tree they were making the djembe from was like very spiritual trees.And the pet skin you utilize it to put on a djembe have like a really big spirit too, you recognize it's an animal skin. And you a human being play the djembe that ' s like three large spirits with each other so that djembe -djembe is the tool make really -is constantly like that. It's like even when you most likely to like some city, every city you go you don'' t recognize anybody you go to drum circle and also things like that. You'' re going to see people having fun. You see 2 people would certainly get- take a djembe and also get with each other as well as start to play. They'' re having an excellent time, you don't also know why. The tool will certainly have like a great deal of in it. And also the tone and also put as well as the bass is not like an adjusting or there is no like- you need to- there is one area where there's a run here.You can discover the tone or slap right here. You understand, is all like regarding technique. You know, like you need to find out, you need to learn due to the fact that the link in between your hand and also the skin and also the pet skin. And also occasionally I most likely to some institution when I said, it's the pet skin on the djembe, I also had one question regarding somebody resembled, "No, that'' s not great to you recognize to kill the animal for your djembe things. So I have to clarify to them as well as I claimed, "No you don'' t- individuals simply don ' t -simply most likely to the one animal even if your djembe is broke. In Africa, exact same like right here some people eat the meat as well as they utilize the -they use the pets skin to do a great deal of various things. We use to make a belt. We make footwear out of it. We make a hat, a great deal of various things like that. So I'' m mosting likely to show you a little bit, a bit different sound of this, this djembe. So you can see this is a slap. As well as this is the tone and this is the base.So that when I
' m having fun, you'' re going to listen to 3'of them with each other. I'' m stagnating my hand or I ' m not looking for like any kind of essential or try to tune it. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ That was simply to reveal you a little bit just how the djembe can mimic 2 different -all those various noise, the tone as well as slap are interacting. And also we as well as the hands are relocating. So similar to this for example. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ Thank you. Okay, I assume we have a time to take a couple of inquiries before we have- and also we have another song for you I believe. Yeah. Yeah. This track. >> > > Leslee: Exactly how concerning that song that you- >> > > Adama: There'' s one point I wish to-I nearly forgot to close the- to close the Sunjata, the Sunjata song.To close
the Sunjata or the Sunjata story. We'' re mosting likely to end with this track, yet I lifted on. Let'' s come back to this track. Okay. So the song for that was when Sinjata went that was right after the wedding celebration, when they are when they battle versus Soumaoro Kante. It was a track, the Griot individuals came as well as they sing this song as well as more than happy with this song.I mean, this song was to recognize Sunjata or to thank for helping us or thank you for just saving our community. Thanks for, you recognize, for everything you did. That was a song called- we call it Sunjata FASA. Okay, so you guys start with that said tune right? Okay, so we'' re going to study little by little bit the first thing was a Okay, so allow'' s-I ' m going to begin it. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ All. We obtained it. Allow'' s attempt once more. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ Everyone. ♪ ♪ I'feel like I ' m vocal singing by myself. Because I can ' t listen to anyone. So allow'' s try it again. Ready?

There'' s a microphone right there that you can migrate to. And also there'' s the microphone right here. Yeah what are your concerns? Adama can address anything. While you'' re reasoning. I have a question. You talked about the tracks that bring the community with each other. I understand that in Liberal arts 124 we read African songs as well as poems, however they're tracks that commemorate birth and also, and also working songs. Songs that speak regarding a work like making a pot. There's a track called Lazy Bones that we review. Are songs utilized in that way, yeah today and exactly how- >> > > Adama: Yeah, we have a tune- that was a great concern you asked, we have a song, it's called Like I stated, Africans have like so several
The from the Boli people. The Boli people are in central Ivory Coastline. And is a dancing where they were betting white people- white individuals, was functioning in the forest, you recognize, like in a garden, not forest in a garden. Like where they were making, you know, they were making rice. They were making- they were making banana. They were making all these, you know, cleaning up, making peanuts. While they were working there was a rhythm. Rhythm was playing at the same time with the dance movement.So that work,
dance activity thing, they take that and also bring to the city. Sometimes you see like a performance. Those individuals, they do the dance and also step. That'' s what it is explaining. It's explaing just how people was working, like can be like ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ That's the rhythm. And the people resemble- they resemble one, two, and three. One, two, one, two and grab as well as grabbing stuff and place in basket probably as well as relocate off, tidy this up. So you get to see a great deal of dancing. You see individuals dancing like that. When you see individuals dance, that'' s what they try to clarify. They explain like what, what it was previously, before even come to be like a dancing on the stage. So we have a whole lot of various dancing like this.These are angling, dance. You see in some cases when you are there, you see some dancing as well as you go like that. Like the relocation can be like that. Cover and also the grab. And also it resembles the fishing, so they get all these relocations and they bring it to dance. >> > > Leslee: Okay. What is the function of ladies in the informing of the stories as well as vocal singing and also dance? The duty of women.Are they likewise society caretakers? > > Adama: Yes, they are >>. They're likewise culture keepers like, one of the evidence, since the very first, the first- the last track we play, Cuckoo. That was a- that'' s a female track. When ladies -the female was fishing, that'' s a track they made for them. You know, were they where mosting likely to such as fishing as well as bringing- and also make food. Over there they have most like a- also like at the ballet, the females would certainly do the mostly- they do the dancing as well as the drumming and also the singing all of them. The culture keeper like- when we talk regarding Griot, when we speak about Griot, there is Griot guys, and also there is a lady. The Griot female, she told God this tale or this track, like, They are singers, they informed an African story. They are society caretaker. So females are society keepers in addition to like men as well. They both have a various method to keep it, however they carry out like their role in it. Even drumming, sometime individuals ask me do the ladies drum in Africa? I stated yes, they drum a whole lot also, yeah.
>> > > Leslee: Are there tracks for death as well as war as well as grieving? >> > > Adama: Yes. Yes. Yeah, there is a song for that and there is a tune for like the healing, there is a tune for all of that. You understand, like in the past also, already it still occurs in the forest, when somebody obtain hurt occasionally, a lot of the moment working in a garden. When individuals obtain right here at the town, they feel in one's bones like an extremely fast means to bring individuals to the health center due to the fact that the roadway is not excellent and often there is no other way to call an ambulance like there'' s no phone, it's not there.So the majority of the moment they put- when somebody obtains pain, they take the individual and also if you have like some drums or they call each other and also individuals always, they run, they come they will certainly come when they listen to there is something going on, people begin screaming as well as stuff. They will certainly come as well as play the drums. And there is a recovery tune. There is a recovery rhythm. Everybody makes a circle as well as they start to sing that track and play those rhythm before the individual. And also many of the moment you assist the person to be able to be to life, to keep it- to keep it, to have like a more, you know, even more power to be solid before they can also take the individual to the city to go to the hospital. So there is a song for that. And occasionally there is a fatality, there is a tune for that, stuff like that.These are like in
all the culture. All the society have like a different song for anything. It'' s like that. >> Yeah. > > Target market participant: Hey Adama, I have a concern regarding drum making. So your family members is a typical drum manufacturer family. Is it passed down by family members in the lineage or anyone can find out to make djembe in your society? >> > > Adama: Any person can discover to make in culture. I imply anyone can because when again, my family- my family have like that society, yet around my family like the different town and also different individuals, they can discover that society, too. You know as well as when they discover it, they all share it. So it doesn'' t have to be like somebody have to be from my family members to do that. And likewise the Griot people is not simply on Cream color Coastline, it'' s not simply my family members. There ' s a great deal of them, there resembles a different name, like a Griot. There is a
There is a Every one of this team ethnic have like a their tale and you can maintain it as well. As well as where people come to my family, they keep their culture also, like I offer you an example. I know some people from the United States in 2001 when they pertained to stay at my residence and also learn the songs and learn all this culture. And also they concern the United States or a few of them go to France and they maintain the society. They maintain you recognize, they share the culture with people, too. The society is like that. It doesn'' t have to be just somebody has to exist. Everybody can learn and share it and also own the culture as well, since having this vital society it is very important for everyone to have it.
>> > > Leslee: And also you can learn it also. You can register to take drums and dance. All kind of chance there. Let'' s offer one even more round of praise. Thanks, that's great. >> > > Adama: Thanks so a lot. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪. And the individuals be like- they be like one, two, and three. They clarify like what, what it was before, prior to even become like a dancing on the stage. Like the action can be like that. Over there they have most like a- even like at the ballet, the females would certainly do the mainly- they do the dance and also the drumming and also the singing all of them. I suggest anybody can because when once again, my household- my family have like that culture, yet around my family members like the various town as well as different people, they can learn that culture, also.
