This is such a legendary performance - the African and Japanese music blends together so well and you can tell Mamady and Eitetsu had a blast performing it. Incredible stuff from some awesome performers
Fun fact: Mamady keita is directed descendant of the Great King Sundiata Keita (1190-1255) the who unified and rule de Mali Empire from 1235 till his death.
This is absolutely beautiful. Two grandmasters of drumming from different parts of the world, each thoroughly trained in thier own separate ethnic music and tradition, each a dedicated, accomplished musician bringing their culture to the world stage. And uniting through rhythm and joy; the universal languages. They make it seem so easy and fun to do this with music. If every art of the world could do this, we would have a joyful world of peace and sharing.
Dance is a kind of language, in a dialect unique to every person who speaks it. Music like this reminds us that we occupy these bodies, and our movement is as powerful a form of communication as words could be. And it's not something we think either; when you hear this music and let it move you, you don't have to think. It just IS. And I am HERE it.
Colours of the world..... if we all looked and lived the same... that would be boring.... we learn and complete each other with our own cultures and ways.... mutual respect and overstanding is the key... respect to conscious people.
Couldn't agree more, can't stand this horrible global consumer culture that's emerging, we need to celebrate our diversity not palm it off for some bullshit artificial alternative! When I went to Bali I wanted to experience Bali, but you have to run very far away from Kuta to get away from the fucking Italian restaurants and western style bars :/ I got there in the end, but damn I wish I could have travelled the world 50 years ago when you had a real purpose to see something different. Fuck convenience! We want experience!
The one so expressive and sporadic, the other very intense and calculated. Combined, they compliment each other in a way few other musicians can achieve.
@Yolanda Davis What «back handed» means ? Is it something bad (there is «back» in it). It sounds like «false» or something like that but I'm not sure ^^ Edit. Or something «regressive»
I felt so good watching this performance during the pandemic on the Gold Coast of Australia. This is a very artistic collaboration and layering of two drumming styles. I was fortunate to have taken some lessons from Mamady when he passed through Abu Dhabi and Dubai, and while the experience is fantastic on film, being in the master's presence is extraordinary. He is also a very skilled teacher with a big smile. Thank you for sharing this performance.
dont know why my tear come out when im hear it. Love, passion, crazy, spirit, culture, sound....i will make something new in my dance with this. respect and love from VietNam.
REAL TALK - best cross cultural conversation between 2 masters that I've had the pleasure of eavesdropping in on in quite some time. afro-asiatic bliss. what a treat. thnx for posting the TRUTH - MORE FYAH!!!
I hate worldbeat b******* it sounds like a bunch of noise. Everybody's trying to throw their culture into the pot to make themselves relevant. Listening to this teaches me what not to do. You people are into celebrity and marketing more than the meaning of the drum.
@tajrulzify That is your opinion in which you have the right to have like I have the right to have my opinion that this sounds like another noisy corny New World beat collaboration. A bunch of spaghetti thrown up against the wall that I'm supposed to like. LOL
No words ...only a big river of emotions..this was pure ecstasy . People who are true masters have big shoulder and strong arms...you are like a mountain. Big hug from heart to heart❤😲😃😃😃
Lay our differences besides and get together as a human race. The world needs ppl like that more than ever before!! I sincerely thank this great Masters for their awesome piece of music, which really helped me to get my day started. On the other hand i'm even more grate- and thankful for them showing the integrational potential of music! Humankind needs more ppl relying on their similarities thus leading us to a more peacful world! Led the message spread! Amen!!
The test of heaven!! before death 😁 lightning and thunder I LOVE IT !! This Two should tour the world together the world needs something like this. 💚💛❤
I help facilitate drum circle(s). The closest large US city is Chicago. Thank you to Mamady Keita (djembefola) and Eitetsu Hayashi (taiko soloist). While the importance of the difference between group drumming and solo work cannot be under stated, I thank you all for this work. I am inspired.
Almost all politicians are lawyers or economists. That explains in part why the world is as disjointed as it is. Lawyers and economists make sense in terms of lawmaking and economic policy, but we need more artists like this as heads of state. People who have experienced common humanity to such a high degree.
It would be a mistake of monumental proportions to assume a talented drummer would make a good head of state by virtue of their musical ability. It is a common fallacy to believe that a celebrity is a likeable or good person because we like their work, which leads to some pretty unfortunate problems nowadays. People will listen to, and give more heed to a celebrity giving their opinion on a subject, than to what the science and experts in the field have to say. I'm not saying an artist can't be a good leader, but no artist who hasn't taken the time to cultivate leadership skills as well as art, will develop those skills through art. Artists aren't enlightened, they are people just like you who have become good at art.
I run out of words to describe what I just saw between theses 2 great men 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 - LUUUUUV My African culture n heritage 💜 - best way to take your mind of covid-19
At about 11:00 it only shows Mamady Keita and for a few seconds it looks like he is playing all the sounds you hear. That's how you know they are perfectly in sync.
You, my beastly friend are a true warrior artist. I haven’t enjoyed this level of percussive artistry since 1980 when I saw, live in K. C. Leonard Gibbs make music with a rope web around a clay pot 5 minutes, solo. He was giving GroverWashington, jr. a break. Thank you for this explosion of glory!
I love any kind of drums since I was 5 years old (46 now) and watching these two talented performers is simply inspiring and indescribable. Thanks for the post!!
The world could use more cultures coming together like this.
Facts
just like the rhythms show us, when they come together really good things can happen, and really we are all one and the same.
Amen dude!
Thats how the world was supposed to be 😔
I agree WW3 must occur lmfao!
There is something so primordial and mythical about drums that it connect every cultures since ancient times.
If a drumbeat could cure the world, surely this would.
This is such a legendary performance - the African and Japanese music blends together so well and you can tell Mamady and Eitetsu had a blast performing it. Incredible stuff from some awesome performers
Such respect & humility between them. There's a lesson to be learned here.
Fun fact:
Mamady keita is directed descendant of the Great King Sundiata Keita (1190-1255) the who unified and rule de Mali Empire from 1235 till his death.

Is Mamady Keita related to Salif Keita?
This is absolutely beautiful. Two grandmasters of drumming from different parts of the world, each thoroughly trained in thier own separate ethnic music and tradition, each a dedicated, accomplished musician bringing their culture to the world stage.

This performance was like seeing a wonderful new life form come into being.
I don't have strong enough words to tell how much i love this
Just dance and say nothing.
Try 2x playback speed....
Dance is a kind of language, in a dialect unique to every person who speaks it. Music like this reminds us that we occupy these bodies, and our movement is as powerful a form of communication as words could be. And it's not something we think either; when you hear this music and let it move you, you don't have to think. It just IS. And I am HERE it.
We understand
Love ,is enough.
Its amazing seeing my too favorite cultural influences Japan and Africa come together to make this
Truly mind blowing
Colours of the world..... if we all looked and lived the same... that would be boring.... we learn and complete each other with our own cultures and ways.... mutual respect and overstanding is the key... respect to conscious people.
Tell that to the Han Chinese

Beautifully said
@唐三藏 Yeah mate kalergi plan is in full swing, europe for europeans and africa is not for chinese etc
@唐三藏 Ohhh noooo!!! If i would of known i would have stopped myself being born!
Just heard Mamady has died in Belgium. Can't tell you how sad I am to hear this....
If I were a King, I would have these fellas playing before my entry everywhere I went!
Twig Splitter yup sure
Also to the WC? It's a shame you'll disturb your neighbors.
-"Get that bat" 🙄!
And have fine African girls dropping rose petals before your every footstep, when you walk, you royal S.O.B. !!!!!!
@@thomasharrison6701 hhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
two real brothers with drumming
heart
Two men, two different cultures, but one heart! Absolutely wonderful!
the rhythm is common :) No matter who is who. Great performane!
They are opposites enriching each other th-cam.com/video/1PDdCmJ84LI/w-d-xo.html&start_radio=1
The beat of the human heart is instinctively tribal and flows thru all cultures if you open yourself up to it. Here's is the proof..amazing
oui
We'll brothers at least.
The one so expressive and sporadic, the other very intense and calculated. Combined, they compliment each other in a way few other musicians can achieve.
It works very well together, and it's also really interesting see the cultural differences displayed in how they play. This is really awesome.
@Yolanda Davis How?
@Yolanda Davis I feel you on this one
@Yolanda Davis What «back handed» means ? Is it something bad (there is «back» in it). It sounds like «false» or something like that but I'm not sure ^^
Edit. Or something «regressive»
I see very little sporadicity. These 2 are trained professionals, the littlest impromptu seeming thing was calculated.
First you see lightning, then you hear thunder.
Often times the concussion of the taiko will burst overhead incandescent bulbs.
Very, VERY glad I clicked this video
All men become brothers: at least in the music it is possible. What a breathtaking combination of African Djembe and Japanese Taiko drums! 😮
This is the best definition of what it means to be a warrior.
Just the sound itself of djembe and taiko go together really well in a way I never imagined
It's PERFECT. Symbiosis.
Oui s'agit de la peau quelque soit
I'M LITERALLY GETTING INTO A TRANCE WATCHING THESE AMAZING VIDEOS HOLY CRAP I LOVE DRUMS
If you love dru.ms you have to see cubans them you'll say something
Yet you type. Nice trance, dude.

Yesssssss!!Love it!!
Phenomenal performance by both. Just loved it. On top of it, one can tell they're also gentlemen.
It´s unreal how much expression there is in a djembe!!
Just found this now the universe is complete!!!! Drums are the heart beat of the soul!!!
The beauty of the world. With 2 musicians. very simple, magnificent
Peace and Love people ❤💪❤
The African drum is crazy amazing. How can one single drum produce any extraordinary beats! Literally I hear it speaking. This is truly amazing.!
Performance of these grandmasters cannot be briefed in words. Really etherial.
I watch this every morning to get started in crazy new York city.
I do the same but in London.

Wow that was wicked - So cool hearing those two drums work together, so tight and foot tapping...Excellent

They go from playing on-the-beat to syncopated effortlessly. Bravo. One of the best performances I've seen.
