On a completely gorgeous day, I’m listening to Pandora, my “Stewart Copeland” channel. (He was the drummer in one of my favorite bands of the 80’s “The Police”).
Mr. Copeland also has composed movie and tv soundtracks, such as the music to the tv show “The equalizer.”
The music currently playing is from “The Rhythmatist”, which I also have in my CD collection.
According to Wikipedia:
The record was the result of a pilgrimage to Africa and its people, and it features local drums and percussion, with more drums, percussion, other musical instruments and occasional lead vocals added by Copeland. The album was the official soundtrack to the movie of the same name, which was co-written by Stewart. He also starred in the film, which is “A musical odyssey through the heart of Africa in search of the roots of rock & roll.” Copeland is seen playing the drums in a cage with lions surrounding him.)
