"This book was based on what many in the djembe community to be the seminal work of literary djembe instruction, Grand Master Drummer Mamady Ke�ta's first book ""A Life for the Djembe"". The TTMDA Curriculum Book 1 was created as an update to the first book, adding maps and more detail, as well as Western notation in addition to the box (matrix) notation. It comes with audio tracks in instructional format for many of the rhythms in the book - to get the audio tracks, please contact Taylor via taylor@holygoat.com."
