Johannes Fries took more than 5 year to record this wonderful concept album, displaying his wide scope and versatility as a drummer and composer. Many great musicians (e.g. Markus Zimmermann kb, Joo Kraus tp, Olaf Schönborn sax, David Guttierez git, Alberto Menendez sax) helped him to shape this inspiring voyage from African ethno sounds to groovy funk and fiery Fusion Jazz - always taking time for the songs to develop with a lot space for excellent improvisation and an excellent sound.
