A new West African Reference tool was just launched this past week at Bantu Camp (A West African Drum and Dance Conference in Santa Fe) It's amazing! It has 50 rhythms with all accompaniments and breaks. 34 of the rhythms have a second version by other teachers for a total of 84 tracks. The sound quality is phenomenal. This is a true encyclopedia of West African Rhythm. They just launched djembe accompaniments. Dun Dun arrangements and solo phrasing are coming out later this summer.
