Details:
This music is all about "You can't sit down!" - funk, groove, boogie or whatever else you might want to call it. There are sound patterns (rhythms) that make your body start moving without asking permission from your brain. That effect is the sole aim of these compositions. The sounds of Drums from many countries and cultures are used with no further consideration than if they add to the "stew". The overall feel is Latin and African, but a samba might feature Indian or Japanese drums! I grew up in New York and you will probably hear the Afro-American and Puerto Rican influences; as they say, "It's all good." For me rhythm is religion so...let us pray.

For educators and drummers: these pieces feature interlocking,simple,syncopated patterns that add up to funky grooves. The tunes lend themselves to analysis because although they have form,they don't have soloists competing for your attention. Just identifying the drum sounds from around the world is a fun exercise. Enjoy and "shake everything you got."
