It’s a well known fact that drumming is good for our health.
It stimulates our brain in a very positive way, it helps balancing the
body & mind and boosts our energy levels.
The darbuka, a goblet shaped hand drum which has made its way from oriental music genres into the world of modern beats and western music. Nowadays it can even be heard in Pop music, Hip Hop, R ’n B and Dance!
With its unique sounds, charming body shape, handy size and mesmerizing rhythms this drum is considered one of the most popular hand drums ever.
No matter whether you’re a drummer, dancer or dj, an excellent rhythm vocabulary and performance skills are essential elements for a solid foundation. Learning more about traditional cultural backgrounds provides you with a better understanding of the origins and authentic contexts.
This book presents a unique selection of exciting belly dance rhythms from around the world for you: dancers, drummers and anyone else who is interested in the art of oriental music, rhythm, dance, culture…and beyond!
Notice that this book was not designed as an ultimate guide covering every existing belly dance rhythm or darbuka technique. Above all, it serves as a source of inspiration! Most of the rhythms presented in this book feature interesting details about each rhythm and dance, as well as some extra traditional background information. I would like to stress that it’s not important how fast you get through this book or how many rhythms you will learn. Take your time and make each rhythm feel good before proceeding to the next one. Just remember that learning has no boundaries!
