Tiriba
(Triba) is from the Laduma-people, from the Boke- and Boffa area in the West of
Guinea. Through the years Tiriba has been given different meanings. In the oldest
period Tiriba was a great dancer who performed with a group of percussionists.
Dancing in a special costume he was called "the Tiriba" .
This Tiriba dance is no longer danced, but the rhythm is played very often. Later the rhythm got popular with initiations, as girls became woman; a dance where mothers and their daughters dance together.
The rhythm is a ternairy rhythm, but there is also a "modern" binairy version (by Arafan Touré).
