This is the sixth CD of De Nazaten and it is solely dedicated to the music of one of their original band members and composers, Robby Alberga. His versatility as composer is apparent in his ability to connect the traditions and roots of music from Guyana, the entire northeast region of South America, with the modern music of today. He utilizes the instrumentation of De Nazaten, borrowed from the traditional instrumentation of the brass bands of Suriname and New Orleans, to produce a fresh and contemporary sound, creating an extraordinary bridge between the wind and the percussion sections.
