Video's

There are hundreds of video clips out there, on YouTube and other sites, you can spend hours and hours trying to find them and watch them. I have added a few of them to this page, to give you an impression of what tradtional djembe ensembles sound like. If there are dancers, take note of their moves and the corrresponding djembe or doundoun parts! Enjoy!
