If the fast-paced,
intense drumming of KDZ doesn't get your blood pumping, you might want to visit a doctor. This 7-man Massachusetts-based ensemble
presents 80 minutes of impressive percussion; nothing synthesized or keyboard-based here - these are raw, primal rhythms that
draw their influence from Africa and the Caribbean.
The album was recorded live at the Kripalu Center for Yoga &
Health in Lenox, MA. As such, the ambient sounds of an enthusiastic crowd can be heard in the backdrop. The rhythms are surprisingly
complex, with a high energy level and a respect for ancient traditions. The urge to dance is strong with this release - it's
unlikely that you'll make it through the album's 80 minute running time without at least breaking a sweat.
