Stewart Copeland:

The Rhythmatist:(1985)

Stewart Copeland is a fabulous drummer/percussionist, and like many with such a bent, he turned to exploration in African music. However, unlike a lot of musicians, his pockets allow him to actually go there, and jam, record, and explore with the locals. Hence, The Rhythmatist. This is actually a pretty good record, aside from some of the 80's production choices...i.e. gated reverb etc. Side A is stronger than B. Key track here for me is Koteja (Oh Bolilla).
