Michael Pluznick solos on djembe and then Ben Isaacs expresses his incredible feel and techniques as well. This is a longer version then I originally posted on Youtube.
This video lesson features an explanation of the meaning of Mali Sunu played with more of a 4/4 feel.
We also will be showing you a version in 6/8 feel soon here as well.
Michael Pluznick plays traditional solo techniques or phrases on his Toca djembe that are chained together or linked to form a solo composition of sorts. “My African drumming teacher the late great master drummer Aruna Sidibe and djembe fola Broulye Doumbia taught me this solo composition for djembe drumming in Bamako, Mali, West Africa where I lived and studied African music and dance two times”.
Please check back here as I will be posting the breakdown of the actual djembe phrases and parts soon!
