djembefola! is a comprehensive West African drumming app designed for students and enthusiasts worldwide. Inspired by Master Djembeföla, Mamady Keïta, this app offers a wide range of traditional rhythms with djembe and dunun parts. With sorting options such as Region, Ethnic Group, and Cultural Purpose, users can easily navigate through dozens of rhythms.
One of the standout features of djembefola! is its continuous loop playback with a visual cursor marking each beat. The app also provides master tempo and volume controls, as well as separate volume sliders and mute buttons for each instrument part. This allows for infinite customization and the ability to emphasize specific parts of the rhythm.
In addition, djembefola! offers in-depth information about each rhythm, including maps, which are vital for the preservation of West African drumming culture. The app can be used individually for woodshedding with headphones or as a group with a home stereo or PA system via WiFi or Bluetooth.
For those interested in certification, djembefola! is uniquely set up to follow TamTam Mandingue Djembe Academy's curriculum. The app includes links to TTMDA and ClubTTM, providing access to resources, events, workshops, and video content by Mamady Keïta and TTM Certified Teachers.
With over 60 rhythms available in Version 1.0, actual recordings instead of computer-generated samples, and a single-page interface, djembefola! offers an organic and authentic drumming experience. The app also allows for in-app purchases, allowing users to build their library of rhythms at their own pace.
