about

All track recorded & engineered by Jed (Jedi) Harper
All tracks Co written and co produced by Davidson R. Elie Jr & Jed (Jedi) Harper

“The power of the drum. We are heavily connected to the drum because it reminds use of our heart’s beat. It is inside of us.”
“Black and white represents balance, and red is passion.”
“Major iDRUM influences spiritually: Rastafari and Zen Buddhism we all are one, together.”
“Major iDRUM influences musically/culturally: Afro Percussion, West African & Caribbean rhythms, the Jive/Swing Jazz era, the Harlem Renaissance, the Rare Groove Soul/Disco period, the early to resent Deep and Soulful House Music and Electronica offshoots, all leading to the creation of “AFREE MUSIC” (AFRO ELECTRONIC/ ELEAUCOUSTIC).”
Visualization, kinesthetic vibration, and auditory sensory experience… where do you go when you take in “GALA INTERNATIONAL”?
