If one project stands for my motto „... and you will know us by a trail of drums” than African Head Charge is the one. From roots reggae tunes via african tribal drumming to polyrhtmic studio experiments you will find everything.

Now is the time to update and re-edit this and fill it up with some fresh 2011 tracks. Stay tuned, pt.2 will follow. For a complete AHC discography and more information check www.skysaw.org.
