Title: Great introduction to the world of inventive African rhythm
Product review: For anybody who is interested in the wealth of invention in traditional African music, this live album is a great addition to your world music collection. As is seemingly typical with the underlying rhythms, they are addictively basic, but constantly suprise you with using unusual instruments such as Antelope horns on 'Rwakanembe', a 22 note Mbira (an African thumb piano mounted in a calabash with bottle top resonators) on 'Kutsolo', and my favourite the African Xylophone on the uplifting 'Ithema'. All the songs have a story behind them, as described on the inside cover, making the album come to life, with tales of cockroaches, herding cows and snakes. 'Feel the Pulse of Africa' should engrave the drums in your head for days, so be warned!
