Definitely look at DVD's as well as books for this stuff. The Mamady Book is basically the bible of the common Guinean rhythms. Abdoul Doumbia also has a book called "ANKE DJÉ ANKE BÉ" which is Malian rhythms. They both include CD's. Listening to this stuff is really the only way to learn it. Mamady has a series of 4 DVD's with all of the rhythms broken down as well. A great website to check all this stuff out is www.drumskulldrums.com.
