Yeah, I like AfroBeat. This isn't exactly that style but I used a GaGa rhythm and a cat from Senegal who says they don't listen to Afro-Beat in Senegal. Anyway, the song is about how the media pushes fear.

Zero Grasses is yet another masterpiece by a truly unique artist. Jen Shyu is a consummate scholar-practitioner. Her vast knowledge of East Asian musical traditions is audible in her voice, its impeccable articulation and expressive range.
This album focuses decades of intense craftsmanship to bear on deeply personal reflections on family, loss and growing up as an Asian-American woman. It's a deeply touching, beautiful record that I cannot recommend highly enough. Cosmographer

It's hjyper-edgy and yet still in the tradition. I hear echoes of Trane and Ornette and the more I listen, I'm sure the more connections I'll hear. davxyz234
