About the Album

"St. Thomas," the opening song and title track, arranged by Dion Parson, begins with a nice, flowing and steady drum groove duet between the talking drums of West Africa by Alioune Faye Saber and the trap set by Dion Parson. This unique combination demonstrates the strong Afro-musical foundation binding African, American, and Caribbean rhythms. The melody is arranged rhythmically to dance around the harmonies of the song, leaving you guessing to its direction.
