RE: Percussion Album – Any Good Ones?

I once listened to a percussion recording on L/P which started with a narrative about slavery in Africa – a very powerful presentation. I think the male singer was African American (could originally from South Africa) but I couldn’t remember his name. Can someone point me to the right direction?

Also, would you recommend a few good percussion masterpiece – Red Book version? Thanks.

Depends on your taste in percussion music. Here are a few I like:

Evelyn Glennie - Drumming
Safri Duo - Works for Percussion, Goldrush
Babatunde - Love Drum Talk
Glenn Kotche (Wilco's drummer) - Mobile
Mickey Hart - Planet Drum

I also have several recordings that are mostly or exclusively marimba performances. I love the sound of that instrument.

Thanks for that recommendation, Tubegroover.

I love percussion music. My wife doesn't. C'est la vie.
