Dini Safarrar (Drums of Fire)

A groundbreaking and incredibly rare album from the Senegalese drum master Mor Thiam (father of the pop star Akon). 'Dini Safarrar' is a fiery and powerful fusion of traditional Senegalese drumming with American funk and jazz. The music is a visceral, high-energy explosion of rhythm, featuring layers of complex percussion, call-and-response vocals, and raw, funky horn lines. It's a holy grail for collectors and a vital document of the deep connections between African and African-American musical traditions.
