Village Life

Herbie Hancock

This work functions as an intimate exchange between two master musicians. It combines the rhythmic heritage of West African instrumentation with the possibilities of modern electronic technology.

Recorded in the mid-eighties, the production emphasizes clean, crystalline textures. Sparse arrangements allow the interplay between programmed percussion and acoustic strings to create a meditative, forward-looking atmosphere rooted in history.
