TRADITIONAL GARIFUNA DRUMMING EXPLAINED
The Instructional DVD "Garifuna Drum Method" to be released April 1, 2008

Garifuna Drum Method presents the historic first intersection of Amerindian and African drumming, demonstrated by master drummers Joshua Arana and Chinny Flores. Garifuna Drum Method is the culmination of a seven-year effort to historically document and translate these traditional rhythms for contemporary audiences; designed to be suitable for children, college workshops, and professional drummers and percussionists. Cultural vignettes, improvisations, songs, musical notations, and references are also included.

"The Garifuna are the descendants of Carib, Arawak and African peoples, and represent an intermingling of their respective blood, cultures and rhythms, through a common heritage. Their root drumming styles hark back a thousand years or more. The ancient hand drum designs, which utilize snares over the top, are very rare and probably originated from the Orinoco Basin in South America, or is a hybrid involving Amerindian and west African designs," said Matthew Dougherty, co-producer of Garifuna Drum Method.

Seven essential rhythms (including the Paranda, Punta, Sambai, and Dügü) are explained in detail by culturally knowledgeable instructors, and are presented in a simple manner for the recreational drummer, yet sophisticated enough for the serious roots percussionist.

During the development of the project, the Chicago Parks Department music program utilized intermediate drafts for children's drumming instruction with great success, and the earlier versions were also used in various college and university-level Caribbean Studies workshops. "For all drummers and enthusiasts of Afro-Latin music, this DVD is a must own," said Aaron Cohen, associate editor of Downbeat Magazine.
