GOOD INTRO TO THE RHYTHMS OF AFRICA, BALI AND INDIA,
By
This review is from: Ancient Traditions Future Possibilities: Rhythmic Training Through the Traditions of Africa, Bali and India (Plastic Comb)
This is a very good book for those who are interested in World music and/or fusion music and want to be able to play all those beautifull and often complex rhythms that one hears in that type of music.The first chapter is about the Rhythms from West Africa, it has a clear chapter on polyrhythms and a formula to figure them out. Chapter two deals with the rhythms from Bali, the one you will hear in Gamelan music, and chapter Three deals with Indian Rhythms, Both from North and South India. And then in the fourth and final chapter one mixes all that rhythm knowledge to create new patterns, hence the name Future Possibilities. If you do all the exercices in the book you are well one your way to play and understand the rhythms that masters like Trilok Gurtu and Glen Velez play. Also recomended are Rhythm book authors like Reinhard Flatischler, Alan Dworsky, Sule Greg Vilson, Peter Magadini and Tom Klower. See also the videos by Airto Moreira, Alex Acuna, Kalani and Paulo Mattioli. |
