John Yost teaches: West African Rhythms DVD
Instructional DVD video of West African djembe and dundun rhythms. Includes: Djole, Kakilambe (Baga), Moribayassa, Soko, and Soli Rapide (ballet style)
Features of this DVD:
- Easy menu navigation using your remote. Each rhythm has intuitive menu to get to the part you want to learn. Over 70 seperate videos!
- Djembe rhythms have high, medium, and low parts. Dundun rhythms have separate parts for the dundunba, sangban, and kenkeni. Each part has SLOW and FAST versions so you can follow John.
-The Rhythm info screens give information of the rhythm's origin and when it is played.
-Djembe videos are in split screen so you can have two different perspectives. This helps in technique on how to make your djembe sing.
- Notations are easy to follow and accomodates whether you are left or right handed.
DVD has been tested and still works great. No Scrathes. The case is a little worn from traveling in a pocket of my Djembe case. **Smoke-free Home**
This DVD is great but I no longer need it. The beats are a lot of fun and adding your own in with the ones on the DVD is fun.
