Description : Congolese Drums with Andre Toungamani is the third release of Senegal Sessions and the first instrumental package in the series. This cool pack is all about creating Mbalax, Afrobeat, Hip Hop and Dancehall dance sounds.
Mbalax (or Mbalakh) is the national popular dance music of Senegal and the Gambia. It has sacred origins in the Serer people, the ultra-religious, ultra-conservative Newap music tradition and their sacred Ndut rituals. By the 1970s, it had become a fusion with other popular music from the African diaspora, the West, and Afropop, such as jazz, soul, Latin, Congolese rumba, and rock, mixed with sabar, the traditional percussion and dance music of the Wolof, an ethnic group from the Northwestern Senegal. The genre’s name comes from the accompanying rhythms used in sabar and is called mbalax.
Although Tungamani is originally from the Congo, he is considered one of the best Mbalax players in Senegal. This merging of cultures gave the music community a rhythmic gift that could be deployed in every package. Filled with passion, history, cultural pride and rhythm, find one-shots and loops that will add serious movement to your next production.
