when you travel from ethnic group to ethnic group you will find that--let's say in nigeria with the yoruba where they have a very tonal language-- they might say hello "modupwe." so there's a lot of variation in tone-- many of their instruments and their drums, like the donno and the talking drums, they sound just the way they talk. you might hear "do-do do do-do-do-do-do-do, do." in senegal, the wolof, the people of the mande cultures which is the sousou, malinke the bambara-- they speak very fast. you might hear, "naga def," so you might hear, "bla ga da, mangi flec, blanka da, blankadi bla dah bleat bla-bla-bla-bla-bla." so as you could see there's a direct connection with the spoken language and what is being played and how you express it on the drum. mandiani is a rhythm that comes out of the old malian empire. the drums and the instruments that they use for the rhythm mandiani come from the djembe orchestra. the djembe orchestra encompasses maybe two or three djembes usually one principal musician and the bass. this is the djun-djun, and this is the song na. you have the bottom here
