This amazing acoustic guitarist has developed a unique technique which enables him to play the rhythms of the Afro-Cuban ceremonial drums (batá) on the strings of his guitar with a feeling and swing that evokes the actual ceremonies.  This album is dedicated to Ochun, the island’s patron goddess, whose main attribute is honey.

AFRICA

Ephat Mujuru was one of the great masters of the mbira, the melodious and spiritually charged thumb piano that is the centerpiece of Zimbabwe's Shona culture.  Recorded in New York City, this album was the fulfillment of a great dream by Ephat Mujuru:  to present  traditional Shona pieces in collaborations with Caribbean and U.S. musicians. This album, the last recorded before his death in 2001, truly reflects Ephat’s lovely, adventurous and sympathetic spirit.
