Product Description

Dagomba Beats was made for anyone interested in studying the Lunna and Gungon instruments from the Northern Region of Ghana. Inusha Hamidu Jawula, a master drummer and dancer from Tamale, breaks down the parts on Gungon for two very important rhythms, Bamaaya, and Damba Takai. Inusah also plays both, the Lunna (Talking Drum) and Gungon (Bass Drum) for Damba Takai, a well known choregraphed version of three rhythms combined. While this rhythm is fun and more basic to play, Inusah explains it is not part of the real tradition of how they play in his home town. Inusah demonstrates, so his students can see, how the two rhythms differ and this is most helpful to drummers who are serious about learning the culture and history, as well as, the music. Filmed on location at the University of Ghana, this video is an absolute must for the talking drum enthusiest and anyone on their way to Ghana to study the music first hand.
