3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[With] theatrical percussion compositions overlaid with catchy choral singing....They're plenty musical on their own terms..."
Dirty Linen - p.54
"Blending tribal rhythms and call-and-response singing of his homeland with elements of American blues and jazz, Olatunji celebrated tradition, yet redefined it for the new world."

"...Full-on drumming, singing, shaking, healing, and praying..."
NAPRA Review - 11-12/02, p.58
"...Full-on drumming, singing, shaking, healing, and praying..."
Paste (magazine) (p.61) - "[A] classic....DRUMS OF PASSION is an important reminder of who we really are -- of that primordial rhythm that's still deep within us, pulsing with each heartbeat."
Pitchfork (Website) - "Olatunji frequently drafted a vivacious, disparate ensemble of musicians and vocalists to contribute to his recordings....By its very nature, his music is designed to be performed by large groups - it is this communal input that gives DRUMS OF PASSION its infectious vitality adn relentlessly entertaining energy."
