Dance the Spiral Dance by Ubaka Hill

Description

Ubaka has drawn together a bevy of talent: in addition to the Shapeshifters ensemble, master drummer Edwina Lee Tyler guests on several tracks; and over 20 women percussionists of the Drum Song Orchestra participate on “The Singing in the Silence”! Many tracks here are chants, tribal/ improvisational in feel, and there are a couple of outstanding instrumentals. From “Sistory”, an absolutely phenomenal djembe duet between Ubaka and Edwina, to Suhir Blackeagles’s funky “Intense Womyn Unite”, to the joyful title track which reminds us how to use power to heal. You will feel inspired to join in!
