From Mamady Keita, Portland 2008
Matoutou = my neighborhood, my people

Note: I am not sure if I have the spelling of Matoutou right.  The rhythm is as close to what Mamady taught as I can get, but I can't guarantee it is exactly correct.  Solo 5 is a standard ending that I put in, Mamady didn't include this in what he taught.  Ballet rendering is my version also.
