Rhythm of the month
December saw the start of a very exciting initiative that now takes place on the forum, the “Rhythm of the month“.
Last month we looked at Mendiani and there has been a huge amount of great discussion, notation, mp3 and video samples shared by the community.
This month we have been studying lamban (Jelifoli) and there has been a great exchange so far.
