AFRICAN GUITAR GROOVE featuring an acoustic guitar played finger style, accompanied by jembe in 6/4 time. Upbeat, positive feel. Instrumental, World Music, African World Fusion
MELLOW GROOVY brief instrumental track featuring electric guitar accompanied by an acoustic guitar, bass, congas and shaker. The track builds in layers, the electric guitar playing a repetitive riff as the main theme and then trails off at the end. Intentionally not busy, laid back, steady groove, Instrumental, World Music, African World Fusion
AFRICAN POP: instrumental track featuring electric guitar accompanied by marimba, bass guitar, clavinet and various African percussion instruments. The beat and rhythms emulate modern day African pop styles, the guitar improvises over the main rhythmic theme and the ending is definitive. Instrumental, World Music, African World Fusion
NIGHT IN THE CITY: This track has a 70's Latin disco kind of feel, much like the Nu Yorica style or Santana, where R&B meets salsa. There's a rhythm wah-wah guitar and a lead guitar. Three different themes build throughout the piece to a climactic finish, and then a soft piano tag at the end. Instrumental, World Music, Latin World Fusion
Rhythmic Adventure: This piece uses a couple different drum patterns layered over one another, resulting in some pretty unique-sounding polyrhythms. The bass line comes in with it's own groove and holds it steady throughout. The guitar & fx add a feel of suspense, as in sports or adventure music. Instrumental, World Music, African World Fusion
SAFARI THEME: a world fusion track, mostly a steady groove with a Telecaster electric guitar emulating African-style guitar mixed with some rock influence. The guitar has the lead melody and jams throughout, sometimes doubling the marimba part. Instrumental, World Music, African World Fusion
MELLOW AFRICAN GROOVE: Instrumental track in 6/4 meter featuring electric guitar, accompanied by marimba, upright bass, light percussion, and a Rhodes electric piano adds a mellow tone. The guitar style over this groove conjures a peaceful image of African plains or twilight in nature's surround, Instrumental, World Music, African World Fusion
