Flash of the Spirit

by Jon Hassell & Farafina

Collaborating with a master percussion ensemble from Burkina Faso, the avant-garde trumpeter further expanded his 'Fourth World' musical philosophy. Co-produced by Brian Eno, the album seamlessly weaves densely polyrhythmic acoustic percussion with Hassell's heavily processed, breathy horn lines, creating an utterly hypnotic cross-cultural atmosphere.
