A World of Music
not world music
"Flaming Drums!" (1962) is Babatunde Olatunji’s third Columbia release, following 'Drums of Passion' and 'Zungo!,' and it broadens his rhythmic vision. Still anchored in Yoruba percussion and ritual chant, it moves into jazz-inspired territory with fuller instrumentation and daring compositions, capturing Olatunji’s shift toward a more expansive, exploratory sound.
