Notes
Traditional from Mali, originally competition dances among the young men, now popular and played at many traditional festivities. From Matthew, except Solo and Djembe part 6 from Mamady.
Parts 1-3 (and optionally 4 too) can also form a melody, with each one played 4 times, followed by the break.
