Djembe is a great instrument! It can be addictive and so can learning new things.
It’s not always easy to have access to a teacher and as such we wanted to figure out a way we could learn from each other.
In December we started what was to become known as the rhythms of the month. If you haven’t been following it I recommend you have a look as there is some great information on some popular and not so popular rhythms.
You can expect to find:
- Cultural information and history
- Djembe dundun videos, audio you won’t find anywhere else on the web
- variations and solos
- songs
- discographies
- discussion on regional variations, different teacher’s styles
…and much much more
Rhythms covered so far are:
- Mendiani
- Jelifoli
- Soli/Suku
- Yankadi
- Kuku
- Tiriba
