Welcome GuruPimpi,people in this forum know that I don't like to write things on the internet,and my agreement with my students doesn't allowed me to do it neither,(it is unfair for them),,but just the cup/slap was not used by africans,(before I did start teaching africans),now I could tell you that there some africas using that technique which I brought in from the Congas,...also as I said before, I'm the first professional cuban percussionist to incorporate the Djembe,(as lead), in an official Guaguanco/Ensemble,and in the Ethiopian music.Dr. Zaragemca
