Und Uschi Billmeier hat gut zugehört und die mündliche Überlieferung festgehalten.Herausgekommen ist eine gefühlvolle Liebeserklärung an die Malinke und ein praktischer Ratgeber für Djembé-Begeisterte: "Die Faszination der Djembé ist die Entdeckung der eigenen Persönlichkeit. Wer Djembé spielt erlebt eine Explosion an Freude und Energie. Da die Djembé mit der bloßen Hand gespielt wird, ermöglicht uns das einen Zugang zur eigenen Kraft und zur Lebensfreude im Spiel und Tanz der Rhythmen... Viele spüren insgeheim, daß hinter dieser Musik eine interessante, lebendige Geschichte steckt. Die Rhythmen der Malinke erzählen von einer sehr alten Tradition. Als Djembéspieler werden wir zum Bindeglied der Tradition zwischen der Geschichte und der Gegenwart."Der Schwerpunkt des Buches liegt ganz eindeutig auf den Trommelrhythmen für Djembé und Begleitinstrumente. Mamady Keita erklärt die ethnische sowie die gesellschaftliche Bedeutung von über 60 traditionellen und modernen Rhythmen. Gleichzeitig gibt er praxisbezogene Ratschläge zum Lehren und Lernen der Rhythmen. Uschi Billmeier hat aus ihrer langjährigen musikpädagogischen Erfahrung eine ebenso einfache wie geniale Notation entwickelt. Die Praxis zeigt: Einsteiger haben schon nach kurzer Zeit erste ermutigende  Erfolgserlebnisse, erfahrene Trommler können die Rhythmen auf mehreren Instrumenten spielen. Book with CD.

The Tomas Cruz Conga Method, Volume I - Cruz Tomas
Beginning: Conga Technique as Taught in Cuba. By Tomas Cruz with Kevin Moore, Mike Gerald and Orlando Fiol. For Conga Drums. Method. Latin American. Level: Beginning.
In Volume I, Tomasito reveals the time!-tested conga method which he himself studied with "Changuito" and other master congueros at the ENA conservatory in Havana. Volume I starts at the absolute beginning and is designed for the person who has never touched the congas, but is also of great value to the advanced player who wishes to understand the foundation and rudiments of the approach that has allowed the ENA and the other Havana conservatories to consistently turn out so many world class congueros each year. Volume I begins with simple exercises to develop technique and systematically works its way through rudiments and !recursos! for use in solos and fills and basic rhythm patterns such as Salsa, Cha-Cha and Bolero. These are presented using the unique Step by Step DVD Method, which enables the student to learn the patterns by watching the DVD and imitating Tomasito as he builds the patterns stroke by stroke. This, combined with a special type of notation designed to be simple for those who don't read music, results in a conga course that really works, rather than just another reference book to add to the bookshelf!

The Tomas Cruz Conga Method, Volume 2: Intermediate
Volume II is aimed at two distinct categories of readers: 1) Intermediate players who are ready for a wider range of rhythms to study and use in live playing situations; and 2) Experienced congueros who have digested Volume I and now seek to understand the roots of the modern Cuban conga style. Having assimilated the material in Volume I, the student should be able to play basic Son Montuno, Salsa, Chachachá, and Bolero.
Volume II moves on to Guaguancó, Iyesá, 6/8, Changüí, Afro, Mozambique, Pilón, Songo, Merengue, Bomba, Cumbia and other rhythms that a professional conguero will be expected to know. Each rhythm is accompanied by an article reflecting on its history and role in the "big picture" of Latin music and offering listening recommendations. Like Volume I, it uses the Step by Step DVD Method. A special 8-page appendix explains the often infuriatingly complex subject of "clave" with an unprecedented level of clarity and insight.

The Tomas Cruz Conga Method, Volume 3: Advanced - Tomas Cruz
Volume III is the first educational product to tackle the complex subject of Timba, the new musical genre which has been played in Cuba since 1989. Timba represents a quantum leap for all the instruments of the rhythm section and especially the congas. The recordings of Tomás Cruz are considered the most advanced examples of Timba conga-playing and so fascinated the three coauthors that they sought out Tomás Cruz and spent a year and a half studying his style and meticulously documenting it before even considering the idea of publishing it. After many hundreds of hours of passionate research, this "labor of love" eventually reached fruition as Volume III. Volumes II & I were then written to trace the roots of the style and to understand the path Tomás took to arrive at his phenomenal level of technical mastery and rhythmic creativity.
Much more than a collection of patterns or exercises, Volume III analyzes Timba arrangements from beginning to end, explaining the role of the congas in each section, the relationship to the "clave", and Tomasito's creative process, including an exercise which teaches the reader to invent his own Timba conga parts. It was the intricacies of the material of Volume III which inspired the creation of the Step by Step DVD Method, which enables the reader to learn these exciting new rhythms in a fraction of the time it would take working with only written music and audio recordings.
