Démo d'un balafon fabriqué par BaraGnouma, atelier spécialisé dans la fabrication d'instruments de musique traditionnelle de l'Afrique de l'Ouest. baragnouma.com...
I just now learned what this instrument was and came here to hear it. The picture I saw showed a wooden xylophone-like instrument and from that picture I expected a dull, hollow sound like bamboo chimes. I never expected such a vibrant sound from a wooden instrument. Amazing.
This is just what I needed. I came across a type of tree called Chinese Flame Tree that grows fast and all over as an invasive species in Florida. Unlike most such trees, this one produces a fairly heavy, hard wood that is one of the best tone woods for percussion I have ever heard (at least anything free!). So I will try to save and dry some to make a xylophone, but I do not know how to make a balafon! I need to finish making some traditional style flutes first...
Did you build it? Today I am gluing the ending holder on a lyre I am building! If you have not built this instrument yet, I cannot emphasize enough how worth it it is!
Was reading “Wretched of the Earth” and it mentioned this instrument so I had to look it up. This music is absolutely amazing and inspiring. Africa Unite!!
When I lived in Boston, I remember hearing this instrument played by a white guy named David Gilden. He would amplify it through a small battery-powered amp and perform for travelers on the subway. He also played the kora, and the two sounds complemented one another.
Magnifique ! 👌 Cela m'a inspiré des arrangements pour une de mes chansons. Je me suis permis de vous sampler ! Un grand merci monsieur Diabaté cliquez sur le lien th-cam.com/video/p7GutviXUxk/w-d-xo.html
C'est aussi du mathematique hein c'est tout comme la tresse Africains il faut être doué en math Vive la tradition vive le peuple Ouest-africains. Anitxe
In Java, Indonesia, we called it Gambang, but the sound is softer, if they both got collab, it will be fun tho Gambang Jawa (Slendro/Pentatonic):th-cam.com/video/5CwvqQiqdIM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=RevVdRJMs79LCAkk th-cam.com/video/5CwvqQiqdIM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=RevVdRJMs79LCAkk
I think the warlord was Soumaoro Kanté. His griot owned what seems to be the first balafon, called the Sosso Bala, which is still only played once a year...
Beautiful! Beautiful! Message from Brazil!😃
I listen till the end and it's very beautiful...
My music teacher gave me this as homework

Oh my, this is pure african magic. Hello from America 👋🏾
Hello From Africa !
This instrument and this music embody the spirit of Africa ❤
Its sad much of the world doesn't know about this instrument

You can actually get a good sound like this from bamboo as well, but not the chimes
there's one band I know that used these professionally
that would be oingo boingo
Precursor to the xylophone.
that sound is not just from the wood, dried insect cocoons are used to enrich the sound
I grew up with this, with my grandma in Nigeria we call it molo
Ooh, that’s good to know. Thanks
For me this, along with the voice, is the true sound of Africa.....
I love the unfinished drums in the background. Djembes and Congas....
that's reductive
I don’t know why but my mom sent me to balafon course when I was 5-6 (p.s:I’m Russian)😂😂
In Russia ?
Привет @LittleGeek где ты занимался ?
That's a cool mum you have!! Mine just gave me a recorder!
That's like the longest ringtone ever

Similar to the Gambang, a musical instrument from Indonesia.
comment peut on mettre un "pouce bleu vers le bas" pour cette vidéo ??? à moindre de n'y connaitre rien en musique évidement..!
Empire Manden !!!!!!!!! Magnifique l’interprète vraiment j’espère en écouter d’autres encore plus magnifique !!!!!!!!!
Africans need more respect than we accord them..
We need to.respect ourselves .. we don't need your respect
…most of people need respect
@@grindjunction6315 Amen to that. African people fuck over African people, not anyone else
we need to share respect and not to forget the past but sort it out
Alm (all lives matter) we need respect everybody :)

Ça vient de mon pays, de l’ancien empire mandingue. Vive l’Afrique
Ca vien du Mali
Sa vient de l'Afrique,notre sang
C'est trop beau!
Qui, comme moi n'a pas envie que ça s'arrête ?
J'aime bien ! 👍👏"Mer-Sea" pour la vidéo.
So I had no idea what this instrument was until Bill Bruford told me what African percussion was.
Great.
Damm.. this is awesome
Vivre la tradition
That sounds beautiful! My son said it is great!
The sound is UNBELIVEBLE
Ppl hate admitting that music began in Africa, yet we’re all african
In Java, Indonesia, we called it Gambang, but the sound is softer, if they both got collab, it will be fun tho

@TaylorSwift I am waiting for my funds so I can go with Wisniewski to Africa by car and bring something like this to Rzeszów. !!!!!!
C'est top !!!
This is great and awesome!
My son is playing the xylophone and im excited for him
good for him!
I would have NEVER know about this instrument if it weren't for a CBS Special today (11/26/23) on a woman making Pottery out of Gourd...!!
maestro! desde el corazón!
So beautiful.
This is beautiful and nostalgic. Reminds me of a simpler time that never existed. Can you make more?😅😅😅
Je ne m'y connais pas vraiment,mais je trouves que 'est joli à entendre.
Because you did great
Excellent. When I watch this, I can't help thinking that someone like Roy Ayers would draw inspiration from watching a balafon solo
📿📿📿🔥🔥🔥
Merci beaucoup pour cette perle, ça m'a touché au plus profond de mon coeur 🙏🏽
This sounds great!!
классно парень играет!
Brilliant music - very talented man.
Super mon megro d' affric , je n'é pas peur car je vous aime 972 represente .

Soul of Africa!!!
amazing sound from just a piece of wood , amazing :-) which wood is used here ?
Hello Birdman, thank you for your post ! The scientific name of the wood is : Pterocarpus Erinaceus
The resonance of this instrument is amazing.
Je suis choqué de l'extrême beauté de cette musique..🙉💥❤️
this is incredible
A game told me something about Sumanguru, a Westafrican Warlord and his legendary Balofon. I came here to see what this instrument sounds like.
I think the warlord was Soumaoro Kanté. His griot owned what seems to be the first balafon, called the Sosso Bala, which is still only played once a year...
@@BaraGnouma Exactly.
get out man. SO GOOD THANK YOU
