Colorful melodies and grooves are drawn from folkloric and contemporary Afro-Cuban, African, Brazilian rhythms with MIDI percussion and electronic elements.<br/> <br/> Ido's intention is that perhaps upon hearing this type of cooperation and synergy that we may be inspired to reach out, find what makes us more alike than different; to find our common sound, our common song, our common humanity.<br/>Mon, 01 Dec 2008 12:45:21 -0600http://idoziv.calabashmusic.com/#album_31516
