Title: What a disappointment.
Review: As a musician who has built his life around music of the African Diaspora, Davis' book is a great disappointment to me. Described as a search for vodou in America, the story unfolds as the diary of an inept hunter. The author for some reason chooses to lump all of Santeria, Candomble, Haitian religion, and any practice however remotely African in origin as "Voudou." This is as far as I know unprecedented.It is indeed painful to listen as he wanders from town to town asking strangers on the street in effect, "Hey, where's the voudou?" In short,any treatment of African religion that fails to address the triad of rhythm, dance, and song as the living, breathing liturgy of worship is like describing Christianity without the bible.
