Rhythm of the month
December saw the start of a very exciting initiative that now takes place on the forum, the “Rhythm of the month”. The first rhythm that we agreed to study was Mendiani and there has been a huge amount of great discussion, notation, mp3 and video samples shared by the community.
These discussions are really worth checking out.
