DESCRIPTION:Kresge Oval (outside Kresge Auditorium)\n\nJoin Lamine Touré\,
  Rambax MIT\, and guest artists for an informal outdoor showcase of Senega
 lese sabar rhythms and dance! Sabar is a vibrant drum and dance tradition 
 of the Wolof people of Senegal\, West Africa.  In Senegal\, sabars are pla
 yed exclusively by griots\, a caste of hereditary musicians.  Sabar drum t
 roupes perform at a variety of events\, from neighborhood dance parties to
  baptisms\, weddings\, wrestling matches\, and political meetings.  The sa
 bar ensemble consists of numerous parts that come together to create compl
 ex polyrhythms. Accompaniment parts create the fabric upon which the lead 
 drummer solos and the rest of the ensemble plays rhythms and bàkks (music
 al phrases\, many of which were composed by Lamine Touré or passed down f
 rom older generations in his family).  Some bàkks are derived from a trad
 ition of rhythmically declaimed spoken word\, called taasu.  Saturday’s 
 performance features guest artists Malick Ngom\, Babacar Seck\, and Cheikh
  Ngom. Rambax will perform a medley of sabar rhythms and bàkks including 
 Kaolack\, Njouck\, Jël\, Ardin\, Raas\, Lëmbël\, Baar Mbaye\, and Daga
