Seriously hot drumming. Garay is from Argentina, but now lives and teaches in the D.C. area. This CD of instrumentals features a wide range of percussive instruments showcased by a strong band. Tracks mostly with a Latin or Afro-Latin flair, but often explore percussion styles of other countries as well. Play it all! *1. Fast, high energy carnival samba w/whistles & drums. Wow. 2. Rockin Afro-Latin track. Gets into a nice groove. *3. Asian-influenced track w/lyrical marimba, wild bongos, bird whistle 4. Great African drum mix w/strong rhythmic interplays. *5. Dramatic opening, powerful accents, seriously cool. 6. A sweet & happy little dance w/nice use of marimba. 7. Cool blend of djembe, conga, ngoma, & claps. *8. Sharp & fast w/a bright energy & great sound. *9. A big, fast, epic drum jam. It goes to interesting places. 10. Starts slower, builds in energy into a strong, kind of dark groove. 11. Energetic Latin jazzy feel w/great mixes of drums & calls from band. *12. Spare but dramatic sound. You can almost feel this vibrations. 13. Fast & wild blend of tricks w/a hot, Latin feel. 3.2004 | ||
