Grammy-winning percussionist Glen Velez takes listeners of a journey on transformation with this invigorating foray into the world of rhythm. Utilizing a primal blend of drums, flutes, vocal sounds and other percussion instruments, RHYTHMS OF AWAKENING focuses on rousing the dormant kundalini energy in the body's two lowest chakras. As such, the listener receives a burst of creative and sexual energy that revitalizes and stimulates. Musically speaking, the album borrows from a variety of world traditions, with African and Indian influences being the most prominent. The songs vary, with some being almost straight percussion and others more fleshed out with additional instrumentation that adds melody elements.
Glen Velez highlights drums and other percussion on this album, addressing them as a way to reflect the human body, and, specifically, the breath. There is certainly is a world fusion element to the generous mix of tribal drums, Eastern woodwinds, and Western instruments, but Velez's unusual compositional style, unique use of incidental vocals, and guttural male chants makes this effort pleasantly difficult to classify. The overall effect of this percussion-based album is meant to stimulate the body's healing center, and induce a state of comfort while promoting proper breathing.
