Back during a 10-month dry spell on this blog, Foliba headlined Open Mic at Cafe Paradiso on October 10, 2012, playing traditional West African rhythms. Dave Winningham handed me his camera to record some rhythms, so it's my fault the video is kinda shaky and beheads the players.
In the first video below, Open Mic host Keith DeBoer introduces the group and they begin with "a celebratory rhythm", Sinte. From left to right the players are Dan Craig, David Winningham, JoLynn Gates, and Bob Miller.
Later in the set, they electrify the room with Jansa ~~ tremendous, vibrant energy swells to the ceiling and bulges the walls! From left to right the players are Dan Craig, David Winningham, Bob Miller, and JoLynn Gates.
These players anchor most of the drum circles in Fairfield.
Both videos were uploaded to YouTube by David Winningham.
