{"product_id":"masters-of-percussion-vol-3","title":"Masters of Percussion, Vol. 3","description":"Liner Note Author: Diz Heller.\u003cbr\u003eTranslators: Diz Heller; Jeannine Blanpain; Ute Entwistle.\u003cbr\u003eOver the course of a given year, among ARC's many releases both good and bad, there are generally a plethora of ethnic percussionists represented. Those percussionists, usually led by a couple of tracks from ARC's deep stable (Hossam Ramzy and Joji Hirota, among others) make a surprisingly good collection when thrown together into a mix, as seen in previous installments of the Masters of Percussion series. Here, the album opens with Hossam Ramzy in fine form, all tinkling chimes and rattles. Ramin Rahimi's Iranian band comes out like a Southern marching band soon after, and the first of a few taiko tracks is headed up by Joji Hirota in a pounding fashion. Nigerian Solá Akingbolá contributes a surprisingly Brazilian track in \"Ninu Opon Ori Tiwa.\" Tabla gets represented by Sarvar Sabri with a nice tabla accompanied on harmonium, and Malian djembes get a turn from Nahini Doumbia, and the cycle starts to repeat itself soon after, with twists to the items presented previously -- more Iranian percussion, more Iranian marching band-style percussion, more from Solá Akingbolá (though this time he's in a more directly African mode). It's a nice album, the pieces fitting together in perhaps a more relentlessly beat-heavy but more coherent and non-monotone fashion than they were even on their own respective albums. ~ Adam Greenberg","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46259939016991,"sku":"5019396225121","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/475aa5985b7218713df6fecae33fdc45_cbcce646-adc4-47bd-ae53-c0ead78a0c48.jpg?v=1777890235","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/masters-of-percussion-vol-3","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
