about

WATER IS LIFE:
Originally this was going to be a drum solo with the UBUNTU beat underneath it.
When we heard about the situation in North Dakota we decided to change some things.
We are far away from standing rock, but in our minds and hearts we are with them.
The beat you hear in this song is completely based on “water samples”.
The whole song is an improvisation on drums, you can hear my mixed emotions expressed musically (love for the land, sympathy for the protesters, anger for the pipeline).
The protests are still going on as we write this, we hope when we finish the CD the native americans have won over the big corporations,
common sense has won over money,
and water has won over oil.
