Over the course of its long history, the meaning of Tiriba has changes several times. Three phases can be identified.
In the oldest phase, a great dancer called Tiriba had assembled a group of percussionists and performed his dances. They called him Tiriba when he wore a particular costume. There are no more Tiriba dancers today but the rhythm is still alive and well!
In the second phase, Tiriba was played after the initiation of the girls, when mothers and daughters celebrated and danced together.
Today, in its third phase, the rhythm has become very popular and is one of the favorites at all festivities where people dance.

Tiriba: Djoliba. Landuma, Baga. Guinée occidentale (no. 12 on map)
Tiriba est un rythme encore populaire aujourd'hui, on le danse dans de nombreuses fêtes. Autrefois on donnait le nom de Tiriba à un grand danseur qui, rénissant d'autres danseurs et percusionnistes autour de lui, créait ainsi une troupe pour donner des spectacles.
En utilisant ce rythme pour célébrer le Ballet Djoliba, Mamady revient ainsi aux origines de cette tradition. Il improvise diverses paroles à l'intention des ancines et aussi des plus jeunes membres de ce Ballet.
| La pluie se prépare, des trombes d'eau vont tomber, | Djoliba tunè a madima wunde nanma Yalamba Djoliba foriye kha n'khaniba |
The rains are gathering, masses of water will fall, |
| Que les sages de Djoliba m'emportent avec eux | Djoliba mayala Djoliba Djoliba foriye kha n'khaniba |
May the wise men of Djoliba take me away with them |

Tiriba comes from Boke. The Landouma is [sic] the people who play Tiriba. They play Tiriba for the big celebration. The traditional Tiriba they play just three djembes, no doundoun, no sangba, no kenkeni, because if you go to Boke, it's only three people playing, but the way we play on this DVD, we play like very contemporary tempo and the time too.
