about

DRUMKAPPELLA: "My voice beats drums melody and my hands sing rhythm's harmony."

Those words carry the essence of what my project DRUMKAPPELLA is: A musical genre essentially made with drums and a cappella vocals. The only real instruments on this track are drums and percussions. Everything else has been made vocally.

I feel blessed and honored to offer you N'NAWASSÉ, the first single of my upcoming album. I hope that this project will help you to diversify your listening habits and open your ears and minds to new musical horizons.
