Lasidan

A really nice groove in B-flat minor/D-flat major (it's ambiguous). A good cool-down. Although people can sure dance to it, it doesn't demand dancing.

Rehearsals
We played through this once with the whole group and once in guitar sectionals.

Needs

 * As always, a few worked-out horn parts might help. Something with sweet harmonies
 * What do we do about singing? Carol really has a feel for the style of vocal, and I'm not interested in making her do what Ali Farka Toure is doing here. Perhaps she sings a few phrases and we develop those.
 * We need to learn the ending signal.

Lyrics and charts
No lyrics available that I can find. I did find this reading:

''Lyrics: Original language Bambara: No-one can deny the things that make them happy. No-one can mistake the things that make them happy. Like a dog with a bone, a cat with fresh milk a young man and woman.''

Perhaps just playing with those ideas will work.
