Heart of Africa vol. 2
Heart of Africa Volume Two features rare performances recorded live at a two
week tribal competition in Kenya. Authentic choir and vocal shouts, chants and
polyrhythmic percussion ensemble grooves from the Maasai, Kikuyu, Meru, Pokot,
and Nandi peoples. A collection of powerfully primal and untamed tribal ensemble
phrases and SFX that perfectly compliment the instruments and loops from Volume
one. Presented in song construction format.

The Heart of Africa series has been produced with the same standard of excellence
as the renown Heart of Asia library.

"Spectrasonics has unleashed another world music monster in Heart of Africa...
The emotion, energy and spontaneity of the performances is wonderful...The vocal
performance samples in Vol. 2 are strongly evocative...a vocal solo might include
yodels, gargles, or blurbles a an integral part of the line: We're talking flavor
here...the tapes were recorded on location, but the sound is surprisingly clean
and consistent throughout...The fact that you're hearing segments from one song
rather than isolated excerpts gives you a lot more ways to build a piece. you don't
have to just grab a two-bar bit and loop it...An amazing assortment of musical
experiences that any sampler owner can use...if you'd like to spice up your tracks
with a dose of real African flavor, it's hard to see how you could go wrong with
Heart of Africa vol.2"
