African Drumming Workshop:
Ageshe from Ghana
This CD gives all you need to learn how to play AGESHE, which is one of the most difficult and exciting drum pieces of the Ewe people of south-east Ghana, played using both hand and stick drumming techniques.
You will discover how to play the drum parts, both supporting and lead, what the rhythms are, and how they fit together. The disk contains practice recording tracks, with computer generated sound files linked to notation, showing exactly what you have to do.
To give a flavour of the authentic music and dance, there is an audio recording and a video of a performance by young people in Ghana. The recordings and video are very high resolution – much better quality than would be possible on a file downloaded from the Internet.
• Appropriate for mixed ability.
• Includes background cultural information.
For more information, click 'View Sample Pages' on the right to download some sample pages (note that the sound and video files are not accessible from the sample pages). Go to 'List of Contents' to read a message from the author, Trevor Wiggins.
