ta-cu-PRA cu-PRA.
this is one rhythm of the itótele, the medium sized drum of the batá, a set of three drums sacred to the orishas. the itótele is the father drum; there are also iyá, the mother drum, the biggest, and okónkolo, the baby.
the batá are played together. it´s hard for me to keep a rhythm with the other two.
