A chilled worldwide selection of musical diamonds ~ extended acoustic instrumentals from Nina Simone, Ali Faka Toure & Ry Cooder and Poland’s Cracow Klezmer Band beautifully interpreting John Zorn. Deep dub in the shape of Makala from Spain, German/Romanian Shantel, a soul classic re-rub by JStar and a couple of golden-age roots versions from Junior Murvin & the Upsetters. On the way, a selection of drum excursions courtesy of French maestros Guem Et Zaka and two of the finest percussionists on the planet: Egypt’s Hossam Ramzy and the Indian Tabla extraordinaire Zakir Hussain. Gems one and all…
