RECORDINGS FROM FOUR WINDS
Solstice 2006 - THE LITTLE DRUMMER BOY   Our Afro – Middle Eastern – Worldbeat interpretation of the classic holiday song. A little drummer boy with drums! Listen to the MP3 version (5.3 MB MP3 file ) - Right click to Download [Mac: Cntl-click] Order a CD Version Now   I have always liked The Little Drummer Boy as a Christmas song, but the majority of the recorded versions all have skimped on drums, then its all woodwinds and harps and flutes and stuff. Where the heck were the drums? Because I am a a total percussion junkie. I decided to try to record our signature percussion-positive worldbeat version. A bunch the Chorus alumni got together and with a whole 15 minutes or so of rehearsal we managed to pull down a few good takes under essentially “garage band” conditions. Percussion tracks were added and mixed into a heady, but pleasing sonic chaos. We had a grand time and hope you enjoy it!
