Another great educational folk record by Ella Jenkins. This one endeavours to teach children all about the element of rhythm and a variety of ethnic percussion instruments. Side One is dedicated to the extended minimalist piece 'This Is Rhythm' and then Ella proceeds to demonstrate a number of different rhythmic instruments. Side two consists of a number of children's songs featuring the different percussion instruments. In true Folkways style, you also get a detailed booklet that tells you all about Ella Jenkins, the concept behind the record and lyrics for the album.
