Thu, 16 August 2007 I posted a video on Myspace of two Africans, Moussa Diabate http://myspacetv.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=10279444 and his nephew in west Burkina Faso playing the biggest balafon I've ever seen. I counted 24 notes before losing count. The gourds are even sticking out round the sides there are so many. I have a Ghanain 10 note balafon which I've owned for 5 years or so. I can play one original riff, and lots of riffs from a tape. I had lots of trouble recording it, and it defies a click track. But here is my riff, Balafonic. Comments[0] |
