    In 1997, Chesky Records released love drum talk, which went on to be nominated for the 1998 Grammy® for “Best World Music Album.”   And now it is remastered and available for the first time as a multichannel SACD - the sound of the drum has never been sweeter.
    This recording is part of Olatunji's Drums of Passion cycle that explored integral facets of the human experience, from healing to liberty.
    Olatunji's words are sung in his native language, Yoruba, and the drums that surround him - his ashiko, the big, curvaceous mother drum, the smaller, cylindrical djembe, the djun-djun and the talking drum - transmit the message as eloquently as the lyrics.

    This disc contains three separate versions of the same musical program:
    • Direct Stream Digital™ Multi-Channel Suround Sound
    • Direct Stream Digital™ 2-Channel Stereo
    • CD Standard Stereo
