bougarabou

[Bingi_chile]

Is there a bougaraboufola in the house? I understand it sounds similar to the conga. Can anyone describe the technique used to play bougarabou?

Why yes ... some generous soul just uploaded an amazing look at authentic, traditional bougarabou playing on YouTube, check it out:

I'll be uploading some excellent bougarbous carved in Mali (lenke wood, with hand-sewn cow skin - traditionally, the skins are attached with a peg system similar to sabar) on my site tomorrow.

Peace,

Are the slaps played closed on bougs?
