Thione Diop DVD: Djembe and Dunun Rhythms of Senegal

Thione Diop is a master drummer from Dakar, Senegal West Africa. His ancestors were griots and he was taught the traditional Senegalese rhythms at a young age. He is a dynamic player and he brings his wealth of knowledge to your home with his first DVD. He resides in Seattle, Washington where he performs and teaches. This DVD is a great chance to learn from a master drummer. This Hands in Motion Productions DVD features:

• Watch and learn as Thione plays the rhythms Aconcon, Diba, Djan, Kotoba, and Wango. Recording was done in a professional studio.
• This is the first DVD of it's kind to have a karaoke style notation. Follow the notes as they are played. Pick up wherever the rhythm is and never be lost again.
• Easy menu navigation using your remote. Each rhythm has an intuitive menu to get to the part you want to learn. Over 70 different videos and over 240 audio tracks to choose from. Each part plays in a loop so you can keep practicing the same part without touching the remote.
• Two djembe accompaniments per rhythm. Dunun rhythms have separate parts for the dununba, sangban, and kenkeni. Each part has SLOW and FAST versions.
• Ensemble videos include all djembe and dunun parts playing the rhythm. Thione solos to some of the fast rhythms.
• The "Rhythm Info" section is of Thione talking about the rhythm's origin and when it is played. Information of when to play the part in relation to the break is also included. All parts have player's view and front view. This is an excellent way to learn technique.
• Four audio tracks per part. Play the part alone, or with the other instruments. Each instrument is mixed for separation so you can hear the relationships. Sounds great with headphones and stereo TV sets.
• With this DVD you can instantly access ANY of the parts. Searching the VHS tape is eliminated and is a thing of the past! DVD is superior to VHS in terms of resolution and durability. DVD can be played back thousands of times without degradation.

Product Reviews: Arthur Hull - Author of Drum Circle Spirit":
" Thione Diop is young for an African teaching traditional drumming in America, but because the Diop family has passed ancient wisdom and living history from generation to generation, Thione is a very, very old young man. Thione represents the legacy of the Diop drumming lineage with clarity, deep humility, and reverence.

The Hands in Motion Production staff and Thione Diop has created one of the most approachable DVD presentations for learning traditional hand drumming that I have experienced.

In the "Rhythms of Senegal" drumming lessons, you are immersed into the playing group in such a way that you can have an overview of all the others hands on their instruments while having a clear model of the specific part that you're learning."
