This live video features footage of a very nice djembe and dunun west african inspired drum and dance performance on Legian Beach (near Kuta) in Bali, Indonesia. All the drummers are local except for one man from France and two from USA.
Photo slide show of my recent trip around the amazing and magical tropical island of Bali Indonesia. Includes photos of the many drums and drummers on the island as well. World percussion and djembe drum music by Barabajaba from the new CD entitled Rise Up. Music available on line at I Tunes and CD Baby.
This is the shekere I was hired to create (make) for Mickey Hart formerly of the Grateful Dead. It took me hundreds of hours to complete this one and only! It now travels with Micky Harts traveling percussion museum.
