Description

Uncle Mafufo’s classic doumbek video is now on DVD. The rhythmic modes are presented in his same easy-to-grasp language, patient instruction, close-up visual detail, and illustrative solos. The rhythms are printed on the back cover for an easy list to refer to. The DVD is full of information and is 59 minutes long. At the end of the DVD we have added a bonus performance to enjoy. Beginning to Intermediate.The rhythms are: Ayoob, Karachi, Malfoof, Saudi (Khaligi), Maksoom, Sahidi, Beledi, Wahed Tawila (Wahida), Vals, Zebula (Darig), Masmoodi Kabir, Chiftitelli, Karsilama, and the Gypsy rhythm Romany 9 (Sulukule). The DVD and Essential Rhythms CD are wonderful. It is my first real exposure to Middle Eastern percussion…the CD’s are giving me a geat deal to work with…my grandmother’s family is from Lebanon used to play…so it is very exciting to begin that tradition again.Thanks againMichael B. from Danbury, Conn.Your instruction has been invaluable and was easy to understand due to your calm and patient presentation. Just wanted to write and express my gratitude for your guidance. Thank you.John W. from Chico, Ca.
