Map of regions and rhythms?

[Waraba]

Anyone out there know where I can get a map of west African regions and the rhythms that come from each region?

You can find a fair bit of this info in "A Life For The Djembe". There is a map in the first chapter, but it isn't marked with rhythms--you have read the notes for each rhythm to find out where it belongs on the map.

Cheers,

Michi.

hi,
you can also check ethnologue.com. Again, names of rhythms are not included but you can find fairly detailed maps of the countries AND the languages. Names of languages coincide in many cases with ethnic groups.... so it is quite informative. This is the map of Guinea and Guinea-Bissau:

Hope this helps somewhat.

That is terrific! Thank you!
