TRADITIONAL GARIFUNA DRUMMING EXPLAINED
The Instructional DVD “Garifuna Drum Method” to be released April 1, 2008-
Onsale now at AMAZON.COM
March 22, 2008 -
Garifuna Drum Method presents the historic first intersection of Amerindian and African drumming, as demonstrated by indigenous instructors 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 in such a way to be suitable for children, college workshops, and drum masters. Also included are cultural vignettes, songs, improvisations, musical notations, and references.
The Garifuna are the descendants of Carib, Arawak and African peoples, and represent the first intermingling of their respective cultures and blood. Their drumming styles herald back 1000 years, utilizing unusual hand drum designs originating before 1000 CE from the Orinoco Basin, South America. Seven essential rhythms (including the Paranda, Punta, Sambai, and Dugu) are explained in detail by culturally knowledgeable instructors, and are presented in a simple manner for the recreational drummer; but also sophisticated enough for the serious roots percussionist. During the development of the project, the Chicago Parks Department music program has utilized intermediate drafts for children drumming instruction, and these drafts have been also used in various college 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.
The DVD consists of 100 minutes of training and musical video in a six panel photographic digipak. Also included are two songs by the traditional acoustic Garifuna band Wamalali, two songs by Paul Nabor/Andy Palacio and the Garifuna Collective recorded at Chicago’s Millennium Park, as well as a collaborative & contemporary world music single Nanigi.
Garifuna Drum Method is being released as part of the ‘Tribute to Andy Palacio Concert Tour’ beginning April 4 in New York City, with Joshua Arana performing as the primero drummer.
Major contributors to the project include Andy Palacio & the Garifuna Collective, Emmeth Young, Rhodee Castillo, Adrian "Doc" Martinez, Professor Oliver Green, Wamalali, D.A. Sonnenborn, Paul Nabor, John Yost, Michael Dolan, Bill Latour, Ivan Duran and Stonetree Records.
Lubaantune Records is a wholly owned subsidiary of Belize World Music Publishing, and was created in 2007 to distribute audio and video recordings of traditional and contemporary music from southern Belize, in close association with Rosewood Studio and Wamalali FM Radio, Punta Gorda Belize. Rosewood Studio opened its doors in 2004 and is owned and operated by local Belizean Oscar Burke; and Wamalali (‘voices’ in Garifuna) FM Radio is owned and operated by Govell Morgan; both of whom have been collaborating with the producer, Matthew Dougherty, since 2000.
