Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars A recording I've been praying for.......2001-08-10

Away from the simplistic drum-machine noises of modern pop music or the spectacular drumming that has been purveyed under the title Voodoo before - nice, exciting but not very Voodoo! This recording is beautiful. It is inspired; it reeks of sincerity and accomplishment yet it seems to fall so naturally under Ms Devlin's hands.

I love the subtle and not so subtle complexities of Vodou rhythms of which I've heard fragments in discs portraying the sacred nature of the Vodou drum through to Maya Deren's film. I've yearned for a recording like this: one that displays both Arada rites with the Pedro. At last it's here. With a work like this it is easy to share in Bonnie Devlin's profound respect for the Vodou way of life and it's people.

5 out of 5 stars Loved it-brought back memories.......1999-10-14

Speaking as one of Bonnies students it is so nice to have our teachers work on CD. Thanks for producing it. Bonnie Please Call....we miss you! Betsey K. If you like drumming you will love this CD!
