Al Quetz a.k.a Quetzal - 'Drums Come From Africa'


In the last few years I have really gotten into original African sounds, particularly music from Nigeria, Ghana, Ethiopia, and north Africa.

Being a drum-head myself, this instrumental LP right here is a sweet combination of those lovely African rhythms and programmed hip-hop drums.

Judging by this pic from his Bandcamp page, we're gonna see a vinyl version. 
Swell.


It is pretty easy to get bored with a lot of "Instrumental" projects these days but there's some really good ideas going on here from Quetzal (who regularly teams up with Onra for production work).

Some of the beats are pretty fruity, and I love that!
Highly recommended.
