Spirit of Africa

Spirit of Africa can best be described as a classical interpretation of African Transcendental music. Desert Rose produces a unique compilation of music where ancient cries, drum beats, Bushmen instrumentation and African Cora meet the mastery and musical eloquence of classical orchestration.

Spirit of Africa reflects the human challenges born out of a need for survival yet captures the message of hope, beauty, love and tolerance that runs through the veins of the African continent.

A brilliant compilation of music, filled with hope, born out of struggle, composed with compassion and mixed with a love for Africa.
