Recorded in Kenya and Tanzania by David Fanshawe, the album brings together songs, dances and rituals from East African communities. It includes pieces such as «Mwari Initiation», «Matondoni Wedding Marimba» and «Akamba Witch Doctor», where music merges with traditional medicine: the drum heals and the melody accompanies ceremonies.
