about

All Around This World: Africa (Volume 2, West, Central and South) crisscrosses this most musical of all continents, inviting you on a journey from Cape Verde to Madagascar, with countries like Guinea, Ghana, Nigeria, the Congo and South Africa in between. There will be Cape Verdean morna. There will be Nigerian fuji. There will be Congolese soukous, South African township jive and Malagasy selegy. And, of course, what would a CD of including West African music possibly be without Afrobeat?

Accompanying AATW founder and lead teacher Jay Sand, co-producer of the AATW Africa CD is Amon Drum, whose Hook Studio in Red Hook, Brooklyn, describes itself as, “Purveyors of fine sound from Brooklyn to Bamako and Beyond.” Amon is so utterly talented on so many fronts--as a producer, as an engineer, as a percussionist himself, and as an organizer of such impossible projects such as this--that to even try to provide the praise he deserves would be inadequate.

Amon's recent writing and production work with the Brooklyn-based international/African fusion collective, Analog Players Society, is a case in point; the tracks are nothing short of infectious . . . in a good way!
