For Black History month, ABC 7 news in Chicago featured "The Big Book of Soul: the Ultimate Guide to the African American Spirit,"

"The Big Book of Soul," was featured on ABC 7 news at 11 as a part of their Black History month celebration. The facet of the book discussed is how drumming can be used as a healing tool. Drummers from Holy Goat Percussion School played djembe and dunun, playing a piece called "When a Woman's Wish is Granted." This particular piece of music is played in Upper Guinea, West Africa when a catastrophe strikes in a Malinke woman's life and she wishes it to be over. Here is a link:
