Show
After many years of experience, Djibril offers to the public several kind of Performances: in Night Clubs, in which he plays techno music with DJ, in the Theatres, in a performance named: "Meeting Africa with Djibril N’diaye Rose" in which public shares in a show of songs and rythms of Africa, sometimes he tells them tales of Senegal. Now, Djibril has created a percussion group named : N'diabotgui ( The Family) ( Rhythms, Songs from Africa, Dance) etc…… |
Djibril N ’diaye Rose with N'diabotgui in M’bolo
A Senegalese group created by Djibril N‘diaye Rose to make an hommage to his family and to represent the african culture in all the world. In fact, the name of the group " N'diabotgui" means, in the Senegalese national language, "The family", while ‘M’bolo’ means "Union". The choice of these nouns underlines the reality of musical events, the energy of dance and percussions. The performance includes (3) three parts: Bayfall, Assiko and Sabar. It lasts ninety (90) minutes. There is no borders for music, no discrimination for music, music frees people. |
| 1° Part | Bayfall - Simb | |
|
The word BayFall refers to a group of people that profess Islamism in a very particular way. In fact they testify their religious observances through rhythms and songs and they accompany themselves exclusively on the klin. The particularities of thes characters are the way they walk barefoot in the street, their multicoloured clothes made of pieces of different material they had been presented with, their way of living working free particularly in the cultivations. In other words the BayFall live on other people's generosity. |
||
| The Simb is a big show on a false lion , but it comes from a true story. This show is about a legend according to which a man had been brought up by a pack of lions. This story tells that when he came back among the humans, he sometimes behaved as if he were a lion. His typical behaviours were to be calmed only by playing the drums and singing songs. | ||
|
Why
do we put bayfall and simb together? As a tribute to Bamba, founder of the mouridoulah a Muslim group that exist particularly in Senegal. From August 10th 1885 to 1902 Bamba was the protagonist of many severe and, at times, dangerous trials such as when he was shut up with a starving lion. Surprisingly the lion behaved in such a mild way that it looked like a docile ram. Bamba was an extraordinary character and he used to say we should not have any prejudice against any human being. That's why we have had no prejudices about putting together some rhythms and some songs that apparently have no links between them. In this part these good men want to speak to all human beings through their songs, rhythms and dances. |

| 2° Part | Assiko | |
|
It is a word with two meanings.
One refers to the enthusiasm the
supporters of a football or
basket ball team express in the stadium. The other refers to a particular
instrument that accompany their enthusiasm. The rhythms reproduced on the
assiko are very similar to the Brazilian samba that, everybody knows, is
of African origin and it was
exportyerd from our continent during
the sad period of the
slave-trade. |
||
| This part of the show is the richest in variety of rhythms, but it is also the most contaminated because it merges the cultures of Cap Vert, of Antilles, of Brazil, of Mali and of Senegal. It is a tribute to music, the real link of the human beings all over the world, but overall it is a tribute to all the Africans who were compelled to leave Africa as slaves. | ||
| 3° Part | Sabar | |
| The sabar is the typical instrument of Senegal. It is considered the first way of communicating and during the years it has become a fundamental part of the Senegalese daily life. In fact it is played in a traditional way during rites such as the circumcision, weddings, baptisms, and in a modern way in the music of up to date singers and musicians. The sabar belongs to a family of six elements. Each of which has its particular name and sound and timbre that make extremely complex and fascinating rhythmical overlappings possible. The last part of our performance is dedicated to the sabar and to its extraordinary family. You will hear original rhythms created on purpose by Djibril N'diaye Rose as a tribute to these instruments. They are mixed with traditional rhythms that accompany faboulous choreographies carried out by our dancing group | ||
