Editorial Reviews
Shaman's Drum
The Healing Drum is more than a literary autobiography; it includes considerable ethnographic information about Minianka culture.

Review
"The Healing Drum is more than a literary autobiography; it includes considerable ethnographic information about Minianka culture"
(Shaman's Drum )

"Together Diallo and Hall have collaborated to produce a text that combines anthropology, sociology, philosophy and music in a potent and thought-provoking read."
(The Jazz Report )

"This is not actually a scholarly book, but that is part of its strength: the subjects discussed in Part One, about Minianka culture as a whole, are those covered in standard ethnographic studies."
(Ethnomusicology )

"Part two provides examination of the more public role of music as a sacred healing practice in Minianka culture."
(Timothy White, Editor of Shaman's Drum )

"I have been searching for an authentic, traditional CD with chanting and singing, and now I have finally found it!"
(Body Mind Spirit Magazine, October 2003 )
