While I was in Mali, I shot an especially cute video of Alou playing but both times I tried compressing it, my computer went comatose so I never got around to uploading it.... until now.
I finally found reasonably fast internet so I didn't compress it- it might take a few minutes to download.
In one of our discussions about various calabash rhythms, Alou was demonstrating a hip hop rhythm to me and started improvising the lyrics in Bambara. This turned into the The Tamara Rap
