Greetings,
A few days ago someone asked about what music Baba had out there
so I thought I'd compile a list. For those new to Baba's music, I'd suggest
starting with the "Drums of Passion" collections, "Love Drum Talk" and his
"African Drumming" video. For those who already know Baba's music I have
added a number of other artist CD's on which Baba appears which may be of
interest. I also suggest purchancing anything listed here(when possible) from
one of our list members business' as opposed to the 'big guys' ie: Best Buy,
Sam Goody, etc.
