The Healing Drum: African Wisdom Teachings
"The Healing Drumis more than a literary autobiography; it includes considerable ethnographic information about Minianka culture" (Shaman's Drum)"Together Diallo and Hall have collaborated to produce a text that combines anthropology, sociology, philosophy and music in a potent and thought-provoking read." (The Jazz Report)"This is not actually a scholarly book, but that is part of its strength: the subjects discussed in Part One, about Minianka culture as a whole, are those covered in standard ethnographic studies." (Ethnomusicology)"Part two provides examination of the more public role of music as a sacred healing practice in Minianka culture." (Timothy White, Editor of Shaman's Drum)"I have been searching for an authentic, traditional CD with chanting and singing, and now I have finally found it!" (Body Mind Spirit Magazine, October 2003)
