- West African Music understanding traditional polyrhythms (6/8 meter against 3/4) Rhythm Tutorial 9
#beats #rhythm #westafricanmusic
West African music is centered around rhythm.
Whether you are just starting your music studies, refining your rhythmic skills, or studying the music of Africa, this is an excellent set of tutorials for you.
Unlike other "how-to" videos on African rhythms or drumming out there, these tutorials are not geared around making drumming easy, but toward breaking down and analyzing these rhythm patterns to enrich your understanding and appreciation of the deeply complex, sophisticated, and beautiful music of West Africa.
In this tutorial, we will dive into one of the most exceptional trends of West African music, which is polyrhythm. Polyrhythm is generally defined as playing two different subdivisions of a beat at the same time. For example, one could play a duple eighth note figure at the same time as a triplet eighth note figure. West African music tends to go beyond that in that it will layer two entirely different meters together. This makes the stresses within one measure happen in different places at the same time. Polyrhythm is generally thought as an advanced rhythmic idea, so if you've gotten to this point in your rhythmic understanding, congratulations! Enjoy this tutorial!
Great performance
djembe teachers never teach this. This is great but you really need a djembe. I can help.
It seems like the moroccan polyrythm 4 over 5 over 6 ..
It’s funny to see people who can’t play talking like if they were master of the discipline. Your theoretical explanation is confusing. Words are wrong, you are mistaking the concepts of beats and inner beats, then the concept of beats and accents which are two different things you don’t want students to confuse. Your explanation is a musical non sense... Nobody writes a 3/4 over a 6/8 this is wrong from the western notation standpoint and for musicians a 3/4 is not a 6/8. There is no magic here you don’t know what you are talking about. BTW the rhythm you play is not a 6/8 but a 12/8.
Proud but not patient.
For sure you are not an academy- graduated-pianist as she is! What she is doning here is called 'vertical-Hemiola' which is used a lot also in classical western music. Plus, if this is not 6/8, so what is doing that african drummer sitting there? Is he an ignorant musician as well ???
These meters and ideas can be written in a multitude of ways. Your preferred way isn't necessarily correct
Super unnecessary comment, I think the issue is clearly not in the video... :D I Love the explanation in the video, love the way it's presented, and love the energy! 12/8 . 6/8 . 3/4 who cares how it's notated, the music speaks for itself and we can hear and feel it through the video
