Talk:Nyabinghi drums

Latest comment: 5 years ago by Trialpears in topic Merge

The statement that the funde plays on 1 and 3, like the thunder, is misleading. The funde actually plays two notes while the thunder plays one.

Right now, this, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akete and the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nyabinghi_rhythm#Drums section all roughly cover the same topic, but with some conflicts. It would be most fortuitous if this was cleared up, fixed and streamlined. Perhaps merging is not the right way to go about it? But, then we run into some issues:

I work with Musicbrainz' instruments, and I edit wikidata somewhat, but I've only done some light gnoming on wikipedia, so I wouldn't know where to begin doing such an endeavour --CatCat (talk) 16:49, 25 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

It is a real mess (good call, CatCat), and a solution is difficult. Can I suggest that one organization would be to have:
  • Support The suggested drum-related mergers should definitely be performed, however I'm unsure what to do afterwards. Is Nyabinghi music only for the ceremonies mentioned in the lead? Is Nyabinghi celebrations performed by all rastafari groups or only the nyabinghi? What is the terminology used for the celebrations? All these questions are important to decide on a course of action. If the music is only for celebrations then the article shouldn't be split. Trialpears (talk) 22:05, 27 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

I have now performed the merger. Please revert my edits if you disagree with my decision and open the proposal again as the discussion was not properly closed by an uninvolved editor. Trialpears (talk) 14:54, 28 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
