Rhythm Stick is your invitation to surrender old notions of standard radio programming.
Here Brazilian batucada rubs shoulders with big band jungle beats. Parallels are drawn between indie pop-rock and Afro-beat. It’s a world of percussive-rich rhythms that get right inside you, from the defiant smack of heels on the floor to the seductive hiss of a hi-hat. Rhythm Stick is a global tonic for the soul.
