The
GLOBAL DRUM PROJECT Tour
The GLOBAL DRUM PROJECT
Tour brings Mickey Hart, Zakir Hussain, Sikiru Adepoju,
and Giovanni Hidalgo together again in a reunion sparked
by the 15th anniversary of the ground-breaking album Planet
Drum. Released in 1991 on the Rykodisc label it went on
to earn the first-ever Grammy Award in the World Music category.
The tour is the groups first in almost a decade. It also
marks the resumption of an artistic relationship between
Mickey Hart and Zakir Husaain that goes back to the late
1960s.
"This is a
deep drumming groove. We're taking the archaic rhythm worlds
into outer space. The Global Drum Project explores rhythm
and noise; it's a sound yoga of processed acoustic percussion
headed straight for the trance zone that becomes a dance
of ancient and modern worlds. Deep drumming is a skeleton
key into these realms." -Mickey Hart
