FOLI (there is no movement without rhythm) original version by Thomas Roebers and Floris Leeuwenberg

<<Dedicated to the people of Baro. Please share.

Life has a rhythm, it's constantly moving.

The word for rhythm ( used by the Malinke tribes ) is FOLI.

It is a word that encompasses so much more than drumming, dancing or sound.

It's found in every part of daily life.

In this film you not only hear and feel rhythm but you see it.

It's an extraordinary blend of image and sound that feeds the senses and reminds us all how essential it is.

I'll check it out.

But one question...

 

I'm rhythmically impaired...

How do I manage to walk?

I saw JD Souther solo the other night and he was wanted the crowd to clap in-time (he's actually a schooled jazz drummer) to Heartache Tonight.

JD said , "clap on-time, on 2 & 4. Not like a white audience who would be on 1 & 3"

I will check this video out Druba, thx.

Cool video, and it’s true.  I saw similar in Senegal last July.  I have video that would fit this thread, I’ll try to post it if I can.

Even white people have rhythm too, OG

OG?

Thanks Zippy.

And there is no rhythm without heat:


The rhythm of the heat 

Drawn across the plainland
To the place that is higher
Drawn into the circle
That dances round the fire
We spit into out hands
And breathe across the palms
Raising them up high
Held open to the sun
Self-conscious, uncertain
I'm showered with the dust
The spirit enters into me
And I submit to trust
Smash the radio
No outside voices here
Smash the watch
Cannot tear the day to shreds
Smash the camera
Cannot steal away spirits
The rhythm is around me
The rhythm has control
The rhythm is inside me
The rhythm has my soul

Pictures for the words

Peter Gabriel, Rhythm of the heat

Yes it was the stinky pete pics you posted that made me think about you when I seen the reddit. Noodler the "Skunk Whisperer", always enjoy your photos thanx for sharing

Seems like aging rids one of simple joys if you're not careful, but having a skunk under the bunk for a month generated giggles in me I can't describe, lol...   so many animal stories when you spend months a year in the field, but it's always those personal moment that define life, in all forms, and all facets...  

I was last down there between Xmas and NYE, nobody had been there for 2 months.  The dog bowl was brimmed with water, and had 4 mice perfectly laid on their backs in perfect unison and condition.  I think we left him a water bowl full, but that should have evaporated or been drunk, but it was full and pristine, except for the mice.  I was impressed, figure it was a gift from him, as animals have been known to do.  I really do miss him, kind of worried that next time i'm down there, there's going to be a bunch of little ones, I may die from cuteness overload!  Just not enough spotted skunks out there, even though they're an apex predator.

I dunno.  I remember seeing Whitney Houston dance.

 

Oh dear, it does get worse, the pain and suffering of life is just as real a truth;
