The concept of the CD's:
With this CD series, Mamady Keita's traditional solos and improvised rythms can be practised with varying tempos. These solos are taught  worldwide by Mamady and his trained apprentices.
The djembe -  and dunun accompaniments have been recorded with MIDI-Sequencer.  It is therefore possible to play along with varying speed, absolute reliability and completely stable tempo. All the traditional solos and improvisions are played by Mamady Keita.
In the first part of the CD you can hear the voices of the individual rhythms as well as the Djembé-Solo. In the following "practice part" you can practice the traditional solo or you can play your own improvisation while the tempo is gradually increasing. At the beginning of each tempo Mamady will still play, afterwards the rhythm will continue without solo.
At the end you will hear a free improvisation from Mamady.
