Nice World Music Cd

"The drums on this cd are very, very impressive, but on many of the songs the vocals aren't that great. I'd rather hear them chant in an african language instead of switching between english and the african language. Carlos Santana's guitar playing also really adds to a couple of songs on this album. I'd rather recommend Planet Drum than this album."

Forget anti-depressants and multi-vitamins!

"This album is so full of get-up-and-dance-energy you could clean your whole darn house while you flit around in rhythm. Babatunde is beyond the master he is called, and this album is pure mastery. You feel better and more appreciative of life with each song, even if you can't understand the lyrics."Akiwowo" is in particular a feel good song you will remember like a really good jingle, regardless of how long ago you heard the tune.If you are a fan of African music and drumming, and by some extremely odd chance have not heard of this album, the time is now!"
