When America needed a musical fix in the '60s, along came Babatunde Olatunji - African, drummer, singer, and sage. With primal chants, flowing robes and tribal beats, Olatunji was a stranger in a strange land. No one, not even his African-American brothers and sisters, really knew what to make of him at first. But if ever the country was primed for something new, something wild, it was then, and soon he turned gapes and murmurs into smiles and cheers. Hi-fi's everywhere pulsed with the strains of the aptly titled "Drums of Passion," Olatunji's breakthrough release on Columbia Records. Four decades later, the album has sold tens of millions of copies worldwide and has inspired beyond measure, musically and otherwise.
