Les Filles de Illighadad – Tende (Traditional song from Niger). Oh, I could watch & listen to this several more times in a row! Those sparkling eyes, hints of smiles, and you don’t want to miss the drum.
Can’t speak for Caine, but sometimes Youtubes algorithm takes you on a nice journey

I frequently have Youtube on in the background in the office. Pick an artist in the morning and let it shuffle. The frequency of which I am Rick rolled by the algorithm is disturbing.
I spend far too much time on sourcing music. Worth it, though.

What I wondered as I watched the thumping was if they matched the speed/rhythm of the song to the wave frequency in the drum bath. It seemed to match pretty well. I would think that if the timing was different, the thumping may move in and out of sync with the waves. I am not musical, so I suspect most of you are giving me the virtual side-eye, saying WTF.
Actually, I was wondering about that myself. It required a very steady rhythm and beat, which I would have had trouble with for that length of time, and I noticed the water movement stayed very steady too.

Good observation, methinks. The drummer better hits the calabash(?) exactly when it has bobbed up again. So the bobbing frequency works like a metronome, dictating the number of beats per minute.
This is Tuareg tradition?
Their music is based on traditional Tuareg music. There’s some interesting info here.

Thanks for the additional info; looks like this idea of the (plastic?) calabash(?), probabely with some sand in it (as kinda ballast) Is new, and its cool!

I like how the lone man in the band is wrapped up far more ‘modestly’ than all the women. That just stood out to me.
How do you find this magnificent stuff?
The lead singer is drop dead gorgeous

rq, stood out to me, too. He’s the main singer’s big brother.
