  2. Thank you Corvimax.
    I was curious about this double cd that I have seen for years on Discogs but was afraid about the sound quality. I downloaded your post and the first cd have a very good sound and music is fantastic with this unidentified percussionist. So I have immediately picked up one of the two copies that was still available for sale at discogs.
