Joe Claussell 'Iboga' (CD)
‘Iboga’ is a full length CD of Unofficial Edits & Overdubs of Afrikaan classics by Joaquin ‘Joe’ Claussell. The iboga plant is indigenous to the humid, tropical climates of West Central Africa, including Gabon, Cameroon, Congo, and Angola, which are home to the 2nd largest rainforest in the world. It has been used for centuries in spiritual initiation ceremonies and practices, particularly by the Bwiti tradition and religion in Gabon. Joaquin ‘Joe’ Claussell was inspired by these influences and went into the studio to create a compilation of edits and overdubs of African vibrational sounds and rhythms. The result is a collection of eleven compositions that showcase the future possibilities of this influential work.
