This awesome CD is more than just a bunch of guys wailing away on percussion. It's a rhythmic journey that cuts across boundaries and destroys stereotypes of what you thought "world music" was all about. I personally think a good place to start is by slipping it into your car CD player, and taking a nice ride. This is no elevator music, but vibrant beats, rhythms, and melodies from across the globe.

The "guest artists" have a much larger role than just showing up to play along. All of the tracks give composing credit to the guests artists involved
