Gomera by Ruben van Rompaey
Rhythm is a universal language, and this awareness shines through in his direct, passionate style of playing on Eastern Expressions 2. For this album, Ruben brings in a treasure trove of Middle Eastern percussion: dumbeks, riqqs, dhollo, djembes, davul, finger cymbals, tablas, udu, and various cymbals...all for a performance that grabs your attention from the very first note. Ruben is the winner of the Tama Drummers Award and the Erasmus Rotterdam Jazz Award. Highly recommended for belly dancing and tribal dancing enthusiasts.
