Adnan Anders is a Sufi master drummer and Omaiyo is a drum CD full
of stories. His playing reveals the power of percusion, whether it's rich,
subtle tones of log drums, or the sound of the Egyptian tabla or the
darabouka . Melodic lines are heard in the mbira and the talking

CD packaging is a lovely compendium, each song accompanied by a short

violin, guitar and saxophone. Slowly, Robin sheds these complementary
ornamentations of sound and the melodies are stripped away,...

haunting percussive melodies, with short
stories , August 20, 1998
I loved
this. The melodies are beautiful, and it has short stories written to
accompany each track, from writers like Jane Yolen and Neil Gaiman.
