Hello to all Isaiah's Fans. Sorry we took so long to get a new video out. We have been busy with so many other projects in our life here in West Africa. Isaiah never took any formal djembe classes untill a couple of weeks ago. This is his 2nd drum class with master drummer Idrissa Kone here in Bamako, Mali. Here are some of the highlights from the 2nd class!
Isaiah plays 2 traditional West African rhythms in this video. The first rhythm is from Kaarta, Mali and is called Sunu. The second is from the Bamana ethnic group here in Mali and is called Korojuga. His dad is playing accompaniment dunun (bass) for Isaiah. Isaiah is playing solo djembe. All Isaiah's videos can be viewed at www.rootsyrecords.com (more)

This is Amazing Child Drummers father in this video introduction Rootsy Records and its purpose relating to West African culture and the Djembe.
Isaiah and Abdoulaye are at it again in this small collection of short outtakes. It is so hard to film Isaiah when he is really playing good. Anytime I film him, he cannot play as good as before the camera was on.
"When I miss my grandsons I enjoy watching this video."This is portion of video the boy's grandmother received from her son when they left the US.
This song was written & performed by a good friend of mine.(Brooklantern) It's about a goal that was never achieved; and an idea that never saw the light of day; a dream lost... It's about what "could have been", and also about seeing one's worth only as others judge it, and the fear of growing old without said recognition. But sometimes, there is gold lying at our feet. We just fail to recognize it... I hope that Wayne - a good friend of mine - accepts this offering as my sincere apology, which I have never been able to give to him in person. I am sorry Wayne, for all the misunderstandings; and for the fact that I never strove as much as you knew that I could.

This is a traditional dance of the Dogon (Cado) ethnic group from Mali.
This is an ancient roping style djembe that is not common any more. All the rope was made from goat skin
Djembe played by owner of Rootsy Records and friends at live wedding in Mali over weekend.
Beautiful baby and mama from Austria. Proud dad takes sepia style video in NY.
Here's a song about doing what is 'right' for oneself, and not just going along with the status quo... Why, you might ask? Because life is short, and could end at any time...
This is Brooklantern's rendition of the Pink Floyd cover song. There is a complete history of his song of youtube. Peace
