It takes place in the evening or at night, in the public square. It is for all people and all occasions : the full moon, the end of winter and good harvests. It starts slowly, picking up speed when a talented dancer goes into the middle of the circle. Great dancers sometimes manipulate a rifle or pestle while dancing. The following version is the most popular in the cities.
{Kaye, Kofili}
Koté ba 2 : a slower harvesting rhythm played before the Foré Koté ba .

Maraka don 2 [ Maraka ]: a marriage and baptism rhythm originating in Mali .
Marakadon 3 A.K.A. Také 3 [ Soninké ]: From the Kayes region of Mali . This rhythm is played mostly by women during popular celebrations. It is wrongly called denbadon ( den = child , ba = mother , and don = dance). In fact the denbadon brings together several rhythms and dances played for popular festivities honoring mothers; it is therefore not the name of the rhythm. This rhythm is accompanied by only one djembe and a single konkoni.
Sounou 2 : originally from the area between the borders of Mali & Guinea , which includes the Kayes region of Mali , Sounou is played on traditional feast days such as Ramadan, baptisms, marriages and other festivals.
Sanja 3 [ Maninka ]: From the Kayes region of Mali . This piece traditionally opened the ceremonies for the death of a king or a very important man. Recounting the Mandingo epic, this predominantly vocal rhythm was interwoven with " Fasa " (songs of praise). Traditionally, the real sanja is not played on the djembe, which is not a griot instrument like the bala, the ntama and jalidunun (griot dunun). Only these instruments accompany the sanja , played to honor men and women griots. On these occasions, the griots sing each other's praises and execute this very graceful dance with circular movements, their arm spread out. Today, some associations organizing "Ambianci Foli" (neighborhood festivities) ask the djembefola to play the sanja . He can only do so in these kinds of modern circumstances. This rhythm is also called jalidon (Dance of the griots). In Guinea , it is called lamban .
{Sidiyasa}
Sunu 3 [ Soninké ]: From the the Kayes region of Mali . This very popular rhythm is believed to date back to the pre-colonial era. At that time, in the village of Sagabari , there was a pretty young girl named Sunu Mamady (her father had the same name). Everyone loved her, and her qualities as a dancer were greatly appreciated. No festivity could take place without her participation. This rhythm was created in her honor by a djembefola troupe from her village. The dance is played to celebrate good harvests. It is a moment for young girls to demonstrate their grace and beauty, sometimes even their provocativeness and for young boys, especially in the Kaarta circle , to demonstrate their strength and vigor and show their acrobatic prowess.
