Circle Of Drums

No label info, matrix numbers, etc, to be found anywhere on the release. Textured paper sleeve (one folded piece, not glued) with pasted on photo on front and track listing etc on back. Text on back: ”Rec in 1993 at The Music Annex, Menlo Park, CA.” ”White beaded crown: this brilliantly white crown with birds was probably used on special ceremonial occasions, those in honour of the orisa funfun, the cool, composed, and patient ones like Obaiala, Orisanla or Oduduwa/Odua. To bathe one’s physical and spiritual head in beaded whiteness is to radiate extraordinary calmness, control, balance, and soulful centeredness. It expresses the moment when the present unites with the past, when a priest/ruler unites with divinity.”
