Three masters of traditional jenbe celebration drumming present the clear beauty and explosive power of their music. They are of the same stylistic tradition and musical descent; also they are playing the same jenbe drum and are accompanied by the same dunun player. Thus the enormous differences you hear between the players, for instance concerning sounds and playing style, are clearly comparable and directly correspond to differences in generational and personal styles. The complete transcriptions of all the pieces are available in The Jenbe Realbook Vol. 1, a book of music notation directly corresponding to this CD.
