Nice World Music Cd, December 20, 1999
This review is from: Drums of Passion: Beat (Audio CD)
The drums on this cd are very, very impressive, but on many of the songs the vocals aren't that great. I'd rather hear them chant in an african language instead of switching between english and the african language. Carlos Santana's guitar playing also really adds to a couple of songs on this album. I'd rather recommend Planet Drum than this album.

Forget anti-depressants and multi-vitamins!, May 22, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Drums of Passion: Beat (Audio CD)
This album is so full of get-up-and-dance-energy you could clean your whole darn house while you flit around in rhythm. Babatunde is beyond the master he is called, and this album is pure mastery. You feel better and more appreciative of life with each song, even if you can't understand the lyrics. "Akiwowo" is in particular a feel good song you will remember like a really good jingle, regardless of how long ago you heard the tune. If you are a fan of African music and drumming, and by some extremely odd chance have not heard of this album, the time is now!

This album was the start of something special, May 30, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Drums of Passion: Beat (Audio CD)
Babatunde Olatunji's album "Drums of Passion:The beat" is African songs, mixed with Western Music. You will find to some of the greatests drummers from africa on this CD, and also find to the world famous Carlos Santana playing with them. Olatunji made a great impact on Afro-pop. He was one of the first people to Mix the music of Africa and America. If you are interested in African Music, this is a must by.

The best cd of it's kind, August 16, 2005
This review is from: Drums of Passion: Beat (Audio CD)
It is quite a claim to report that this is "the best cd of it's kind" and a healthy dose of subjectivity goes into that opinion. Some great drumming to be found here.
