Live Djembé, by Daniel Genton - Book + CD
Language: French

Mainly focused on practice, "Live Djembé" presents about 50 Djembé-accompaniment models and four complete percussion arrangements.

To make sure the scores are fully understood, each rhythm was recorded and cooresponds to a specific track on the CD, in addition to useful technical advice and historical information.
In this tutor, emphasis is obviously laid by the author Daniel Genton on the oral aspect of this musical tradition, rather than on written transcriptions.
The latter, who trained with maestros like Mamady Keita, proves to be a specialist in about 20 traditional polyrhythms from Werst Africa: Sofa, Soli, Diansa, Fankany, Kuku, Tiriba, Yankadi, Makuru, Kanin, etc.

This tutor is best used as a support tool to a daily practice of Djembé drumming.
