Uplifting and beautiful

"Good traveling music, good working/thinking/reading music, good do-nothing music. It's not jazz, more new-age but not really...it's hard to describe. Beautiful African-themed harmonies of some voice and mostly music, with African animal sounds or weather sounds in the background, that combine with perfect rhythms to create a thoroughly good CD. Worth getting if you enjoy any of the above! By the way, "Temba" means "Hope".



I like everything on this album except one song. I think that is #5, or whichever one there is a woman singing...I don't know what she's saying & it's a different pace than other songs so it is not as pleasing to me.



If you'd like a travel-with-kids CD that does not have anyone singing silly tunes in an overtly cheery tone, this is good for that too - the occasional animal sounds and the rhythms are fun."

Relaxing and Interesting

"Hennie Bekker is talented. He can fuse New Age sounds with percussion, creating up-beat, yet relaxing music. I have 3 of his CDs, and all are sonically very good. Excellent bass. Highly recommended!"
