I believe there are actually a couple of junglists up in the Chicago area mixing
brazillian (batucada-style rhythm sections) and african rhythms in with their sets. If
they decide to put out a mixtape I'll let y'all know. I would love to hear some tama
(senegalese talking drum) on a d&b release myself, that would be the dopest shit...
