This hour-long ritual performance utilizes a wide array of percussion instruments from North Africa, the Middle East, and East India, as well as western orchestral instruments. Drake and Zerang are veterans of Chicago’s world music, new music, and jazz scenes, and have performed together nationally and internationally.
They have an extraordinary understanding of one another—the sort of working friendship in which music has created a deeper kind of communication than conversation ever could. -Chicago Reader
