Lolo

Lolo is a rhythm that was created by Famoudou Konat. He has learned students different Sangban-patterns at different occasions. It was after that he heard the song Lolo sung by his son that he made the rhythm. The song about Lolo, the Star is of mother Hawa that is consulting the fortuneteller. He sais that shes got a good star and that she will live long, that she will be wealthy and have many children. Nna ghawa Lolo ye san ma, horo ya le b nin i nye (Mother Hawa, the Star is in the sky, and the day of freedom has come) x Call T f TT r l T l TT l r SSS r l r Djemb 1 S r Kenkeni x x x x x x x x x x Djemb 2 B r Sangban A x x x x x x x x x x Djemb 3 SSTTSS r l r l r l Sangban B x x x x x x x x x x Doun doun echauffement x x x x x x x x x BSSTTSS l r l r l r l B l TT r l S r TT r l S r SS l r TTS r l r SS l r T T r l x x x x x x x Doun doun x x x x x x x x
