This is a fun thread Hank, always fun to think about drums and percussion. My first
suggestion is one of my personal faves, Babatunda Olatunji, Drums of Passion. Released in
1959 (or close to that) it's arguably the first commercially successful "world music"
album. I guess that comment would open a can of worms but I'll stick with it. At any rate,
great traditional African drumming and singing, very exotic.
