Review by Donna Susor

The album "The Voodoo Drums of Le Gip" by Le Gip is a captivating musical journey that takes listeners on a trip to the heart of West African voodoo culture. The album features an array of traditional percussion instruments, including the djembe, dunun, and talking drum, which are expertly played by Le Gip and his ensemble.

From the opening track, "Invocation," to the closing number, "Farewell," the album is a non-stop celebration of rhythm and groove. The songs are driven by the hypnotic beats of the drums, which are augmented by occasional chants and vocalizations. The recording quality is excellent, with each instrument clearly defined in the mix.

One of the standout tracks is "Dounia," which features a call-and-response pattern between the drums and vocals. The song builds in intensity, with the drums becoming more frenzied as the vocals become more urgent. Another highlight is "Gnawa," which incorporates elements of North African music into the mix, creating a unique hybrid sound.
