		The "dundunba" selections, clearly identifiable based on the pronounced emphasis of the kenkeni in the off-beat, are more refined by comparison to the "dundunbas" on the 1996 release, "Hamanah," which features both Famoudou Konate and Mamady Keita.
		On "Malinke Rhythms and Songs," we encounter the softer side of this form in "Donaba," an ancient Dunun piece combined with a contemporary version of the song to honor a beautiful woman whom the community had chosen as the village princess.

	Propylon - CTO Articles - A study in XML culture and evolution (Site not responding. Last check: )
		There is a spoken language in Africa - I believe it is Malinke but memory (and Google) may have failed me here - which has evolved a very interesting alternative to designating people by name.
		Instead, speakers of Malinke embark on a circumlocutory route to identifying the individual.
		Malinke speakers could stop short of that final, innermost part of the address and say something like "The CTO" or "The tall bearded guy with the faraway look in his eyes" etc. Thus uniquely identifying me.

		Operating a Cultural Music School in The Gambia, Drumculture was created several years ago and is now run by a group of dedicated and enthusiastic musicians from the UK, Gambia, Guinea and other West African countries.
		Its roots stem from a love of traditional African drums and dance, particularly from the Mandingue (or Malinke) culture.
		We have done our best to detail some of the history of the Malinke culture and its musical traditions on our history page; not an easy task as most of the history is passed on from generation to generation in songs, stories and ritual.

	Afro Celt Sound System Fan Website - Lyrics
		Malinke is a language spoken by people in the West African countries of Guinea, Gambia, Mali, Senegal and Mauritania.
		It is difficult to do direct translations of Malinke into English and, therefore, the translations mostly provide information regarding what the songs are about.
		The original working title of the song "Seed" was the Malinke word "wulaba" which means "forest." In this song, NFaly speaks of the importance of the forest, our own relative insignificance on the planet and the importance of respecting the earth.

		Condo flourished under the Malinke leadership of Momolu Sao (Sao Boso), and though Cape Mount was never a principal European entrepôt, it was a always a frequent port of call (Jones 1985).
		Samori's defeat of the Malinke war chief Saghadyigi Kamara in 1883 brought the upper Konian under his control and renewed the southward push of Malinke, exacerbating ethnic hostilities in the Loma regions of Gizzima, Ziama, Bluyeama and Koima (Bouet 1911; Person 1968; Massing ibid.:54ff).
		The Malinke, Konyaka and Kissi refer to the Loma as Toma, an ethnonym widely adopted by art historians and others which has all but replaced the terms Bouzie, Buzi, Kimbuzi or Domar Bousie used by an earlier generation of writers.
