Fusion percussionist William Johnson releases new album
PERCUSSIONIST William
Johnson has released the album 'Sacred Roots (Raices Sagrado)'.
Said Johnson, "It has been nearly two years since the last recording
and with lots of new material and another spring season upon us it is
my desire to produce a new musical expression. This project is an
artistic expression of celebrating life with the percussion driving
the songs. Culture, heritage, nationality, etc. are sacred to us. We
hold dear the fond memories of our past and present. Our roots impact
who we are. I believe that they tell a deeper story however than
melodic lines alone. These melodies connect us to a deeper truth; our
very root is sacred and therefore if we weed out the bad and keep the
true and good then we too and all that is within us is sacred."
