African Rhythms and Independence for Drumset - Mokhtar Samba (Book/CD)

Mokhtar Samba's powerful drumming can be heard throughout the world on recordings and tours with Salief Keita, Youssou N'Dour, Richard Bona, Joe Zawinul, Graham Haynes, Jean-Luc-Ponty, l'Orchestre National de Jazz (ONJ), and many others. Mokhtar's Moroccan and Senegalese heritage, mixed with the jazz and Afro-fusion atmosphere of Paris, has created one of the most exciting drummers of our time. His drum lessons take students through several rhythms from all over the continent of Africa. Mokhtar breaks each rhythm down into movements or exercises that help students develop the coordination necessary to play the various patterns that offer multiple variations of these rhythms.
