This review is from: Voyager Series: Voodoo Drums (Audio CD)
My husband is from Haiti and as an avid collector of world music, I invested in a half dozen CDs claiming to be from Haiti, one of which is voo doo drums. Obviously the title is meant to appeal to the sensalistic western buyer with no knowledge of the old ways from Africa. I found this recording boring. I like music that stirs an emotional response from me, be it Native American songs preparing for war or Maria Callas singing in La Traviata or Mongolian throat singers. I believe that it is possible to find true african drumming recordings that tell a spellbinding story of healing or coming of age or prevailing in warfare and other events of importance. These stir the soul of the listener. Voo Doo drums is not authentic anything.
