I was gigging in Moengo, a bauxite town in Suriname, South America. And whiles the concert was going on, I saw an African looking drum in the corner back stage. So I quickly grabbed it brought it infant of the stage and started drumming. The crowd went wild to put it mildly.
After the concert, and chatting over a meal, some of the town elders told me how fascinating it was seeing me play that drum like how it should be played. One man who was so moved by it said to me “We know we are from Ghana originally, but today you brought us proof by playing that drum the way you did.” I was really moved by that statement. And it became this vibe of unity and kinda reconnecting with your family thing happening.
When I got back from that tour, it got me thinking how the African drum has travelled the world and influenced all kinds of music. And not only that, all these music that the African drum influenced like, Gospel, Salsa, Bossanova, blues, Jazz, Soul, R&B, Hiphop, etc., has turned round to influence African music. Thus the African drum has gone a full circle. Because today, African musicians are heavily influenced by music from the Americas. It’s amazing how something bad as slavery can birth good music. Everywhere you find black people, you will find the African drum or it’s traces. Humans interact to drums & rhythm on a higher dimension, and our soul acknowledges and embraces the rhythm every time through our body movements.
This is what inspired me to make this CD project.
We did this project in a very unique way. Because of technological advancements in the studio industry, it was easy to select musicians from around the world to record their individual instruments all by themselves on 4 continents; Europe, Asia, America & Africa.
