DESCRIPTION:
This video was recorded in May 2014 for our yearly performance; the style is Gahu, an Ewe beat from Ghana, and features the intricate polyrhythms of the four drums: Kaganu, Sogo, Kidi and the lead drum Afoumaché, as well as the Aratzé shakers and the Gankogui bell.
Note the dialog between the lead drum and the Sogo and Kidi drums
