Cette méthode traduit la vision du djembé de S, ou plus honnêtement, ce que j'en ai compris. Au Mali, S est l'un des derniers connaisseurs du djembé du Wassolon, de son histoire, de son langage et de ses rythmes. C'est aussi un véritable pédagogue qui, poussé par sa réflexion sur l'évolution du djembé, enseigne des polyrythmies épurées, mettant l'accent sur la manière particulière "les sentiments", avec laquelle elles doivent être jouées.

Selected
uncluttered polyrythms
"Epuré" does not only refer to how rythm is written (if ever it is), as a simple or complex pattern, but mostly to how it is played : with no special effects added to it or to the concert scenery: the music in itself appears sufficient, simple and cristal-clear.

Comment: "I went with "the traditional, uncluttered polyrythms, ". Thanks !"

refined polyrhythms
I'm positive about the "polyrhythm" part of this translation. The "epuree" part I'm less confident about. Any thoughts?

precise polyrhythms

The alternately tribal and chugging "Silence", with its cool synth flourishes and awesomely precise polyrhythms, recalls Gabriel circa Security or Talk Talk.
or perhaps "polished".

simple polyrythyms
Just simple polyrythyms, I think, in contrast to complex polyrythyms.

pared-down polyrhythms
"Pared-down" crops up quite a lot in musical contexts, especially in reaction to complexity.
Note from asker:
very good idea too, Thanks ! |
