Ghanaian Xylophone Music for Marimba

A collaboration between Ghanaian xylophone master Aaron Bebe Sukura and American percussionist Patrick Roulet, this collection includes traditional songs performed on the gyil, a single-row xylophone of the Lobi and Dagara people of Ghana and Burkina Faso. In this collection, song themes, variations, and supporting patterns are arranged for two- or four- mallet marimba for players of different ability levels. The songs can be performed as a marimba solo or layered and performed in a group. Patterns for optional percussion accompaniment are also included.
