** Mandela
Picture yourself below the equator, in the good hands of a crowd
longing for freedom and democracy. The heavy beat from the bass
drum has become unstoppable. Eager hands play skin drums and tri-
angles, and in all of this, there's also the programmed grooves of mod-
ern electronica. They all start off whispering but soon enough a roar
will reach the oppressors. You can blow out a candle, but you can't
blow out a fire... NE
** Senegal (T)
Somewhere deep in Africa, before the people were influenced by
western culture: Was life better then? Maybe. But either way, this
style brings you one of the most common rhythm patterns in traditional
Sub-Sahara. The agogobell has it. It's in 12/8 but programmed here
to fit a 4/4 metric. The timing is already fairly "native" but can be even
more loose using the Humaniser. In half tempo feel mode, the agogo
and shaker keep up the basic beat while the rest of the instruments
cool down. Picture yourself with your tribe under the stars... NE
Music Academy
Funk
This is funk drumming inspired by funk guru George Duke (Party
Down) at one end to the unexpected Frank Zappa (I Don't wanna Get
Drafted) at the other... As a matter of fact, they did some great music
together, too! Of course, many are the innovators of funk. Earth Wind
& Fire's Fred White really did some seriously simple but stunningly
groovy stuff.
In the 1970's, funk music was often played quite straight except for
the drums that added a little more swing to it. Add the Slick Triangle
and the Wood Block at any time. Style programmed in 126 BPM. dB
