This recording is the result of my five year collaboration with Massamba Diop, of Senegal, West Africa. It's a total embrace of the world wide confluence of traditions that have shaped our worlds of reference, and it sounds like that.
Massamba has been the tama drummer for Baaba Maal, one of Africa's most well known singers, for over three decades. In addition to being the feature drummer in film "The Black Panther," Massamba has recorded and/or performed with Herbie Hancock, Peter Gabriel, Afro Celt Sound System, The Senegal-America Project and so many more.
Tony Vacca took his training as a drum set player and dove into the world of World Music. He has performed and/or recorded with pop icon Sting, Jazz legends Don Cherry and Yusuf Lateef, as well as renowned poets, Abiodun Oyewole (of The Last Poets), National Beat Poet Laureate Paul Richmond, and Brooklyn-born poet Tantra Zawadi. Through his Senegal-America Project he has performed with Senegalese artists that include Afro-pop star Baaba Maal, Senegalese Hip-Hop artists Bideew Bou Bess, Rap artists Gokh-bi System, and master of the tama/talking drum, Massamba Diop.
