Five years in, with two acclaimed albums and dozens of international performances, Mark Ernestus' Ndagga Rhythm Force announces Yermande, a new phase for this Dakar-Berlin collaboration. "This time around I was better able to specify what I wanted right from the initial recording sessions in Dakar," says Ernestus, "... I took more freedom in reducing and editing audio tracks, changing MIDI data, replacing synth sounds and introducing electronic drum samples." Rather than submitting to the routine, discrete gradations of recording, producing and mixing, the music is tangibly permeated with deadly intent from the start. Lethally it plays a clipped, percussive venom and thumping bass against the soaring, open- throated spirituality of Mbene Seck's singing. The drumming is unpredictable, exclamatory, zinging with life. Likewise the production: intuitive and fresh but utterly attentive, limber but hefty. Six chunks of next-level mbalax - funky as anything. "Lamb Ji" is traditional wrestling, the most popular sport in Senegal, always introduced by hours of drumming, gris-gris magic and dancing (led by the fighters themselves). Born into the Momori griot clan in Tivaouane, Mbene moved to Pikine on the outskirts of Dakar, where Ndongo Lo was first to invite her to sing at lamb events. Here she pays homage to all the popular fighters of recent times. Evoking the ancient legacy of the griots, "Walo Walo" is also the name of the sabar rhythm underlying this track, which features Ibou Mbaye's percussive synth-work, Mangone Ndiaye Dieng's kit-drumming, and Bada Seck's jolts of lower-pitched thiol drum. "Simb" ("Lion") refers to traditional drumming and dancing events, at which a cavorting "faux lion" frightens the audience members. "Jigeen" means "Woman": "Man should know every woman is your mother. Cherish a woman. Respect a woman's dignity. Look after the people who were there when you had nothing." A tribute to the Baye Fall leader, "Ndiguel" is the most traditional cut, showcasing Assane Ndoye Cisse's insinuating guitar lines, Laye Lo's super-elasticated snare-drumming, and Bada Seck playing the khine drums associated with the Baye Fall. "Yermande" takes a former associate to task: "Stop prompting the witchdoctor to curse us. Leave people alone and let them go their own way. Take yours; leave ours to us" Like "Lamb Ji" and "Simb", featuring all four sabar players: Bada Seck, Serigne Mamoune Seck, Abou Salla Seck and Alioune Seck.

They love these. For tough chewers and fun
Color: KING KONG
The dogs love this. I have Pitbulls and a Cattle dog/Basset mix. It gets a lot of use.
If you've had BENEBONES. these will be a little different. They're a different material. But work the same. My dogs go after both these and the Benebones.
If you're wondering, these DO produce little sharp pieces of plastic material.
Always monitor your dogs.

Fun design, dog loved it but keeps getting teeth stuck so had to toss it out.
Color: KING KONG
My dog likes this and I thought it was a great option. It's a fun character design. We ran into a problem though - she keeps getting her lower jaw/teeth stuck between the two arms of the ape. The distance between the fists is just wide enough to allow her teeth through it, but narrow enough that they get stuck and then she starts yelping until she figures out how to free her lower jaw. The first time, I thought it was a fluke. The second time, I took it away and tossed it. Maybe a future design could give more space between the fists.

Keep chewing boys!
Color: KING KONG
There is nothing that can't be destroyed. The nice thing about dog toys from this company, is that they last a long time. We have 3 dogs 🐕, 2 of them are aggressive cheers. Over time, these dog toys will develop some
sharp edges. When the dogs want to play, if they rub that toy on your ankle, it can remove skin. The toy is still intact, but becomes hazardous to the humans in the house.
That is when you go back to the Amazon site, and order new toys.
Our dogs love these, as they are a challenge to chew. And they do last a long time.

Our Pit loves them!!
Size: Medium, Style: Bone, Product Packaging: Standard Packaging
We are on our third one in 2 years for our Pitbull Terrier. She’s an extremely aggressive chewer and will shred even the most “durable” labeled toys. She gets bored with rope style toys and always alternates to this Kong rubber bone. She will gnaw on this thing for hours. After a few days of use, it does start to show wear and the rubber begins splitting, but we haven’t had to be concerned about chunks or anything like that coming off and choking her. Keeps her teeth nice and shiny while keeping her occupied for hours. When one wears out, we just order a new one. I hate spending big money on dog toys, but these are more affordable and worth the cost!!

Durable, no bounce or squeak
Size: Large, Style: Ball, Product Packaging: Standard Packaging
My Great Dane loves to carry his ball on walks, but with most balls, when dropped, they’d bounce and roll away. I found these balls that are very durable when he bites down on them, and when he accidentally drops them, they don’t bounce or roll far.
