Accompanied by up-and-coming musicians such as Hiromasa Suzuki, Norio Maeda, Ken Muraoka, and Kiyoshi Sugimoto, Ishikawa leads the group in pursing his lifelong theme of drawing from Africa for inspiration. The turbulent drums and percussion connect jazz-rock and African drumming to create a groove on a scale unlike any other.
Features a total of 7 newly written songs, including the beautiful Sunrise, the lively African deer, the aggressive Bakimba, and the exciting Shinkirou. It is a masterpiece worthy of being considered one of Akira Ishikawas best works.
