West African rhythms available!

Fara Tolno compiled 50 West African rhythms:

Rhythm Reference Project

So for 40$ you can download the traditional version of it. For 100$ you can download traditional, ballet, and Mamadu versions of the same rhythms.

This is a good deal! THe money is going to help open a school in Guinea, West Africa, for traditional teachers to share their knowledge of drum, dance, balafon, cora, etc. and other aspects of the traditional African culture. WHich is quickly dieing. It needs to be preserved.
