World Beat Rhythms Africa
Beyond The Drum Circle: Africa, written by Maria Martinez and Ed Roscetti is part of a wider series which also looks at the rhythms of Brazil and Cuba.
The Africa book teaches you about Akom, the religious music of the Ashanti people of Ghana, West Africa; Adowa music, also from Ghana and originally played at funerals; and the popular folk music of the Central African Republic--from places like Chad, Sudan, Zaire and Cameroon.
