Little needs to be said of this disc and the artists featured on it, but for those not familiar with Bata Ketu, the project and music are led by two master percussionists from California, Mark Lamson and Michael Spiro. Bata Ketu features the vibrant and infectious Yoruban-born Afro-Latin music of Brazil and Cuba, uniquely-embodied by Spiro and Lamson’s own creativity, artistic vision and in-depth experience with the traditional music.
