Drums on Fire by James Asher & Sivamani - Drumming|World Beat & Global Fusion|Music|ShantiOm Music

In November 2001, Sivamani was in England for another show at the Royal Festival Hall and James seized the chance to propose a joint project. For their first collaboration, they co-wrote “Amma,” which appeared on the CD Shaman Drums (enhanced by the rich earthy voice of Christine Collister, who also sings on the first track of this album) and available from New Earth Records. The people at New Earth Records were dazzled by the collaboration between James and Sivamani, and supportive of the idea of a follow-up album in the same spirit.

Sivamani has added his unique brand of percussion to the work of dozens of artists, including Zakir Hussain, Billy Cobham, Grover Washington, Jr., Shankar, Ginger, and Hollywood star Steven Segal. Sivamani is one of India’s best-known and most colorful percussionists with a sparkle, presence and charisma that is unmatched in the entertainment world.

James hopes that listeners will derive as much pleasure from listening to this album as he and Sivamani had making it. This was a collaboration whose fun and warmth transformed it into a great adventure.
