The Balafon
DVD & Book

Balafon Learning Method
Aly Keita & Gert Kilian

This method presents the techniques for playing the balafon. It proposes teaching traditional pieces to be played on one or two pentatonic balafons, as well as the marimba, xylophone or vibraphone. (Kanouzo – Boro Domborola – Djamanatigy - Fanta Mangkane and Thindoro).
Coordinated independence is studied thanks to the detailed presentation of each pattern–hand by hand, phrase by phrase. The possibility of looping and a play-along facilitate the work and make it possible to play with Aly Keita.
