..its interesting that some sangban [middle dun dun] lines are played EXACTLY like cascara and son clave, while others [eg, Macru] resonate with the timbales of the danzon. [Incidentally, the djembe line for MACRU is closely echoed in the bell for MARACATU].

It is also quite easy to trace the route of the madinka [whose roots are in guinea, senegal, gambia, mali, burkina faso- all that area] to the new world and see it resurface in the american blues rather than carribean rhythms.

The sabar drums of the djolof are reminiscent of both brazilian repinique [in how you play]and cuban timbale solos[in what you play- or dont], but i cant find mention of them anywhere across the ocean.
what happened to the djolof when they were forced across the sea? Does their music resurface at all, or was it lost?
