LOLOLolo is a rhythm that was created by Famoudou Konaté. He has taught students different Sangban-patterns at different occasions. It was after that he heard the song Lolo sung by his son that he made the rhythm. The song about Lolo, the Star is of mother Hawa that is consulting the fortune-teller. He says that she's got a good star and that she will live long, that she will be wealthy and have many children. N'na ghawa Lolo ye san ma, horo ya le bö nin i nye (Mother Hawa, the Star is in the sky, and the day of freedom has come) Last changed at 18-06-1999 Intro with all the bass-drums O O . O O . . .
