Drummer, dancer, and folklorist Sule Greg Wilson introduces the principles behind African and Diaspora music, including breath, posture, and orchestration.
I love this book. On a whim I signed up for an African dance class and ended up being a regular dancer. Besides the passion of the dance, I loved the drumming. I say loved because I moved and there is no group here. This book fully related the passion of drumming, its history in African, the different kinds of drums (a different approach is needed for the type) and even the ailments that can go along with drumming. Wonderful read.
