Kakilambe

Kakilambe or Kaki lambe (sometimes spelled as "Kalilambe") is an African dance. It is a ritual dance.

There is contradictory information as to whether it is originated among the Baga people of Guinea or in Mali. It is also known in some other West African countries.

This name is also used to refer to different percussion patterns in African music, some of which are individual variations, and some differ significantly: some of them being in 6/8 and 12/8, while others in 4/4 time.

The variant taught by Mamady Keïta is based on the music of Baga.
