RASAKI'S DRUMS and the rich rhythms of NIGERIA'S YORUBÁ

Rasaki Adadokun

We recently released this half-hour documentary, Rasaki’s Drums and the rich rhythms of Nigeria’s Yorubá for purchase in both the educational market and the general public. With an interview and drumming demonstrations by master drummer Rasaki Aladokun of Nigeria, it is enriched by material filmed in that country. Through the documentary, we learn about Yorubá drumming as well as Yorubá religion and culture. It should especially appeal to those interested in West African music and to African Americans whose ancestors come from that region.

Rasaki, who now lives in California, is something of a celebrity, having toured for years with the band of King Sunny Adé, known as the “King of Juju Music.” His talent and showmanship are on full display in the documentary.

The documentary comes with an extra giving more information about Nigeria and the Yorubá.

FROM BOX to CAJÓN: PETA'S HERITAGE -- DE la CAJA al CAJÓN, la herencia de Peta

Peta Robles

ENGLISH: Peta Robles and her companions Huevito, John Santos, and Lalo Izquierdo explain Afro-Peruvian history through musical demonstrations and stories of the instruments created by Afro-Peruvians. Chief among these is the cajón – now used in world music from modern flamenco to jazz and hip-hop.

Filmed in California and Peru, the 30-miinute documentary is a window on a community that, through its musical instruments, has had a far larger influence on the world than one might expect. This is a film for people who love music and for those interested in Latin American cultures. In English, and Spanish with English subtitles.
