Thanks to Robin Green for finding this amazing video of how rhythm is an intrinsic part of daily life for the Malinke people. “The word for rhythm ( used by the Malinke tribes ) is FOLI. It is a word that encompasses so much more than drumming, dancing or sound. It’s found in every part of daily life.”
Thanks Martin for passing this on. It was a great way to spend 10 mins as a start to my day.
Hey Ken, it made my morning too … I am walking around with a big grin.
Fantastic, shows true community and thanksgiving in all they have ..even when that’s not a lot…. the rhythm of life.. Beautiful
Thanks and bravo to everyone – for making and sharing that. What a message. Could be shown at any drumming seminar, surely? And, even for non-drummers, an insight into what they’re missing 🙂
That was fantastic.. love those kids dancing!! 🙂
Martin, that was awesome… Thank you so much for sharing.
Just remind me… which culture is it that’s ‘rich’??
Our sanitised workaday insulates us from so much of whats important. This was beautiful, thanks for sharing.
