Lamba


This is a festive song that works well with a smaller variety of instruments. I have it here being played by djembes, dun-dun (bass drum) and bells.

1. A good way to start it is:
Dun-dun establish a beat.
Add bells for a couple of measures
Add top djembe part
Add bottom djembe part
Add improvised solos

2. Another good way to perform it is:
Start with the signal,
Everyone begin together at a brisk tempo (This is played at 160 beats per minute.)
At some point, the bells begin to get faster, up to 220 bpm
Before you get too fast, finish off with another playing of the signal.
