African Dream [CD]
Shaman's Dream

When Los Angeles’ Shaman’s Dream gets ready to perform — “live” or in the studio — its members call upon the powers of nature to bring healing and positive transformation to their music. Like the shamans who take us into the spirit world to enlist the help of guides, animals, and nature, these prolific musicians use the same sounds, chants, and rhythms to take listeners on a musical pilgrimage to the mystical, primal heart of Africa. Here they serve up a delicious ethno-jammin’ blend of chant, fusion, and deep groove for bodycentered movement, dance, or serious trans-dimensional drifting. Features Amani Friend, well-established multi-instrumentalist from the international underground electronic scene, and Jason Hann, accomplished percussionist/drummer who has accompanied Grammy Award-winners Isaac Hayes and Rickie Lee Jones.
