Sin Palabras - House Of Drums mp3 album

"The embargo has been lifted and the cultural exchange can commence: "House of Drums" presents a funky clash of traditional Yoruba chants with steadfast Rap tirades, Afro-Cuban rhythms and modern house beats. This is the Havana, which the local radio stations with their hyped up salsa mixes will never show. The Africanism of traditional Santéria, the strong Yoruba chants underpinned by turntables and keyboard... all backed by 2 vituoso Cuban percussionists, ... a hot prospect for sure! A co-production by European dance DJs with the Cuban percussion collective Tambor de Firmin and the young rappers from Proyecto F. 100% Havana - primeval and forward-looking, and with no empty words. And it's 'Sin Palabras' because, as we all know, talk is silver but rap is gold!" (sleevenote)
