Centro d'Arte's "50/50" series continues! In this new installment, we present a musical portrait of Hamid Drake, simply one of the most original percussionists on the planet, whose musical vision merges the energy of free jazz with the spirituality of eastern philosophies, embracing all the musics of the world.

The mixtape features the music of this extraordinary musician, as well as a selection picked by Drake himself from some of his favorite records.
