Review by Jean Piter

Afro American Drums is an album that celebrates the rich cultural heritage of African American music. The album features a variety of drumming styles, from traditional African rhythms to modern-day beats. The tracks are performed by various artists, each bringing their unique style and interpretation to the music.

The album opens with "Yoruba," a traditional African rhythm that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The track features a combination of drums and percussion instruments, creating a lively and energetic sound. Other standout tracks include "Bata," which features a call-and-response style of drumming, and "Funk Drummer," which blends funk and jazz elements to create a unique sound.

One of the album's strengths is its diversity. The artists featured on the album come from different parts of the world, and each brings their unique perspective to the music. The result is a vibrant and dynamic collection of tracks that highlight the richness and diversity of African American music.
