Kilimanjaro - (New Original Music)

Get this music + reprise here: http://bit.ly/k8HQpG

Original composition set to the polyrhythms and percussion of equatorial Africa.

In this piece I use orchestra, choir and african percussion ensemble including marimba, kalimba, udo and djembe.

I wanted to explore polyrhythms with this composition. There are lots of instances of 3/2 and 4/3 rhythms that are traditionally associated with African music throughout.

Thanks for listening!

This is stunning. Well done. you can hear the African drums in their element, and then you've got the strings to accompany. Genius.
