I tried to upload a video of a tam-tam (drum circle/dancing). Here is the link: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7028415156736703151&hl=en
It was taken from my camera so please excuse the poor quality, but it gives an idea of what the tam-tams are like, at least in a Bambara village. The guy dancing is called a "gongorraa." They bring him out right before Ramadan every year to "scare" the boys into weeding the entire village. Then we have a tam-tam, of course!
