Made in the creatively charged atmosphere of my artist friend’s Sydney studio, surrounded by paintings of ocean from the point of view of a hot air balloon (take a moment to visit WayneAshton.com and you’ll see what I mean) – La Danza Poetica 004 sails on the wind instruments of drum, string and voice, pausing to dive into the stories of griots and musicians from Ethiopia, Ghana, Botswana, the Sudan, Zimbabwe and Jamaica.
