About the Album

Listen in as we gather some of Africa's best drummers and unleash them in the studio over two hot weeks in Cape Town, South Africa.

With free reign to explore, they bring in a large collection of drums and move in.

With everything is set up, we hit record and sat back. The temperature went up even more.

The result was a firestorm of an album in just 9 songs.

We believe they captured the essence of drumming perfectly, in that the music changes and builds until you lose any will to resist it.

It's a mix of fast and slow beats, heavy African grooves and hypnotic poly-rhythms. There are mid-tempo dances that accelerate with high speed solos.

Simple, sparse rhythms that develop into full songs, with some singing.

Take a listen to these masters of the art in lively spirits and feel the African heat.
