Hi everybody,
I am looking the percussion chart for the Niabingui rythm. If anybody have it, can he (or she) send it to me.
Thanks in advance.
Laurent

i'm not sure if mean nyabinhi, ( it sounds the same ), if you do then the beat is a heart beat, which is

1 & 2 & 3 & 4
conga, o o o o
nyabinghi (large two headed drum,0 0 0 0
played with stick, with
muffler on end.)
quinto, oooo
(o oo)
the quinto usually does solos, which are improvised as
is appropriate, (no written rythm) and is mostly between the heart beat.
and a lot of flams are used on and off beats

1-&-2-&-3-&-4-&-
o o o o o o

its a basic 3 againsts 4 rytyhm with flams.
if you really did mean nyabinghi, the i also suggest you listen to a lot of reggae, bands like The Congos, Bob Marley and stuff.
just play the heart beat and you'l soon figure how to improvise so that it sounds great.
i hope this helps

sorry about the trasncript
the thing is just on congas,and nyabinghi the beat is on 1 & and 3 &
and on quinto is 2-&-3 and 4-&-1 this is just usually but threre is no right way to play solos, just keep the rhythm of the heart beat
