Released in MAY of 2000!! Soul Affirmationz is an eclectic arrangement of drum-songs— a fusion of West African, Afro-Cuban and Caribbean percussive traditions with hip-hop, R&B soul and spoken word affirmations— all of which give voice to Afia’s expansive transcultural experiences. Afia Walking Tree is a brilliant triple-treat – a singer, composer and percussionist –with stylish musicianship that immediately grabs your attention! Walking Tree skillfully plays no less than 15 instruments throughout her performance (including djembes, congas, djun djuns, naked gourds, shekeres, bells and other instruments) and captivates you with her beautifully rich, sensual and patois-tinged voice.
