Now we're going to learn how to play the second
part to Cuckoo from Guinea, West Africa. This is for the second Jim Bay accompaniment,
so, it's a little bit lower in pitch than the first part. The drums, they want to work together, higher
pitch, lower pitch. This part we start with two tones , then a
slap, then two tones, then another slap. Listen, I'll put it together. Tone, tone, slap, tone, tone, slap. The tones are on the beat. Tone, tone, slap, tone, tone, slap. Tone, tone, slap, tone, tone, slap. When it goes faster you'll really hear the
tones coming out; tone, tone, tone, tone, tone, tone, tone, tone, on the beat.
Five, six, seven, eight. A little faster, five, six, seven, eight. Even a little faster, five, six, seven, eight. Cuckoo is fun, it's exciting, it's happy celebration
music. That's the second accompaniment for the rhythm
we call Cuckoo..
