An upbeat celebrational musical journey combining different world music styles with James Asher`s trademark worldbeat percussion.

James Asher`s Raising the Rhythms is an exuberant world music
expedition. The Caribbean, Amercia, India, Africa and the Middle East all contribute influences to these richly varied and energetic compositions, whose vibrance is superbly captured in this unique
recording.
Smouldering layers of percussion form the foundation with a
wide array of tablas, dholak, djembe, congas, bongos and bata drums. These are then joined by an exotic selction of voices
and melodic instruments including Native Ametican flute, harmonium, sax, trumpet, guitar and a plethora of keyboard sounds.
James Asher`s love of rhythm and the wide diversity of ethnic
music is superbly enhanced by his spirited but super clear production style.
