This record is no doubt, at least in parts, an attempt to try to reproduce something of the magic from the fantastic Burundi recordings by Michel Vuylsteke from 1967 published by Ocora. In the Inanga e canto it is not up to its predecessor "Chant avec inanga" from the Ocora OCR 40. I will post that record a little bit later. The 17 drummers on this recording are good but the drums are more powerful and the atmosphere is more dense in the tight performance of the group of drummers on the Ocora.
