Item #SP7165CD. Fulbright Award-winning drummer Daniel Paul composes on the rare and expressive tabla tarong, blending ancient classical and modern folk drumming styles of India with western music, instrumentation and influences.““In composing these melodic world-beat songs for this long-anticipated solo debut album, Daniel drew inspiration from the great cultural diversity and natural beauty of the Hawaiian Islands where he makes his home. Like the islands, these songs embrace a kinship with all cultures and evoke a love of nature. “I create music with the sincere wish that it help unite the many cultures of the world. I have faith that music has the power to do this” says Daniel.““Rhythms of Paradise offers a musical window into the influences and experiences of a remarkably talented and accomplished artist, and features the work of many of Daniel Paul’s most respected musical friends and mentors.““Length: 53 minutes““1.
