about

Yeyengo was composed about 30 years ago by Salif Jobarteh, a kora player from Casamance. It’s in a special tuning called tomora and is based on the dance rhythms of the Jola who form a large part of the Casamance population. Kausu played a solo version on their Tanante album; here’s the duo arrangement they play live. With its abrupt stops, ringing bass notes and imitation of the tuned Jola drums, Kausu’s Yeyengo has made him famous throughout Casamance.
