Search - Darrell Rose/Afrikan Drum Festival :: Wisdom

Darrell Rose has been trained in the traditional techniques of the various styles of African drumming. To those techniques he has added his own modern sensibility, strongly influenced by American urban inflections, such as those of the Last Poets and the free flowing, form and genre bending manipulations of 70's era Miles Davis. For the past dozen years Rose has fronted his percussion ensemble, Afrikan Drum Festival, performing regularly in the mid-Atlantic region. This is their first release and this hour-long journey will expand and challenge you concept of the "drum album".
