Thanks for the discography suggestions and all the clips! That's a lot of material to digest, which is what I plan to do now:)

Are there any videos of soliba/balakulania/soli lent dancing in Africa? Is it a group or solo dance?
I only some dance class videos found on youtube.

[djembefeeling]

Good question. Usually it's not either or. Most often dancing starts in the group and in the more heated section gives room for individual dancers. Not completely sure but I very much believe this holds true for soliba as well.

Hi, guys. Just one question: the rhythm fura that people've been talking about isn't this one, is it?

[djembefeeling]

Right, it isn't. Wondered about its title myself when I saw this one. I guess its the same occasion that makes the same title, circumcision...

[davidognomo]

Well, it's 4 strokes... But it's more like mendiani. Only that every other measure. Cheers!

Kind of hard to hear for me from the video on the smartphone. Could it be suku/soli? Cause it is sometimes called fura too. The occasion, like soli and soliba...

[drumdrumdrummer]

Dansa and Soli have a different character indeed, as I mentionned a modification. But they are close enough to be related, and the more I play, the more I understand why he said this. Simply try to play the usual Dansa dunun part over any of the previously mentioned recordings.

[davidognomo]

hi, Jurgen. It's not suku.

[djembefeeling]

O.k.

I just noticed this thread

Here it's called Fura, it's the Malian name for the same thing. Hans gives nice set of solo phrases there.

Finally, someone posted a short video of this rhythm taken last year in Hamana
