Dafos album for sale Product Description

Dafos album for sale by Mickey Hart was released Mar 30, 1989 on the Rykodisc label. The CD reissue of DAFOS has been digitally remastered and includes bonus tracks.

Hart (tar/beam/stick/tubular bells/percussion/berimbaus/saron/vocals) is accompanied by Steve Douglas (woodwinds), Shabda Khan (tar), Jody Diamond (saron), Bobby Vega (bass), Flora Purim (vocals), Airto Moreira (percussion) and the Brazilian group Batucaje among others for a collection of ambient soundscapes adorned by an array of indigenous hand and mallet-struck percussion. Although dominated by instruments, Flora Purim's vocals during "Reunion I" through "Reunion III" are equally as expressive as Vega's propulsive electric bass interjections, backed by Hart and Moreira's perpetual pursuit. "Sauda�ao Popular" is one of the cuts to feature Batucaje, who join Hart on berimbau.
