The percussionist Madou Djembe creates music based on traditional rhythms from West Africa. With a fine display of virtuosity, he uses the rich possibilities of the djembe to speak of those he loves and tell of his doubts, joys, and dreams.

Off-putting instrument accomanies the drumming
I had high hopes for this CD based on previous reviews. I wanted pure djembe drumming from a master. The problem was I had no idea this master attached these metal things to his drum, which produces this irritating vibration that sounds sort of like, I don't know, like one of those shaker instruments, only not as nice. It's hard to describe, but for me it really cut into the pure, masterful tones of the drum itself. I found it so distracting that I couldn't bear to listen to the CD more than once. Only 1 or 2 tracks on the entire CD were without this awful noise. Granted those 1 or 2 tracks were fantastic drumming that I enjoyed them immensely (the man IS a master) but I'm not keeping a CD just to listen to 1 or 2 tracks. Very disappointing. That's the last time I buy music solely on user reviews.I would've given it 1 star, but to be fair, my dislike is purely on a personal level. The drummer really is talented, but I just hated the sounds coming out of this CD, plus the volume is fairly low.
