Mamadou Ly
Mandinka Drum Master
16.99
The principal Mandinka drummer for the National Ballet of Senegal for 25 years, Mamadou Ly is a master of a music that has been thriving for centuries. While spectators take turns dancing, Mandinka drummers develop melodic conversations on three tuned drums. The drummers' interlocking rhythms combine to create music with a high-energy dance beat. To make this recording, Mamadou Ly returned to the Mandinka village Warang, where he played frequently before joining the National Ballet. Additional tracks were recorded on the outskirts of Dakar.

"Anyone with the slightest interest in drumming (and not just ethnic drumming) should consider this as a 'must have' disk." - Bill Tilland, Option "beautifully recorded in Senegal, in the winter of 1992. Mamadou is accompanied by two other drummers on 13 tracks that explore social, ceremonial and dance rhythms of The Gambia and Senegal" - RootsWorld |

Please note!
Most CDs have been
imported from Europe or Asia.
They are not all
shrink-wrapped, and I am not
going to con you by wrapping them
here just to make you think they
have been sterilized in America.
We guarantee that the CDs and the
contents are all brand new and in
perfect condition. Whenever I
can, I use recycled shipping
materials. They may not look as
pretty on the outside, but they save
money and keep the trash dumps a
little bit emptier.
