about

Solo palm wine guitar music recorded live in the studio with no overdubs. Three mics and a DI were used to capture the full sound of palm wine guitar. Seven of these tracks are previously unreleased, seven have been previously release but appear here remastered for best sound.

Palm wine guitar music is a style of guitar playing from West Africa. At its core is a finger style technique involving playing the strings with the thumb and first finger. This gives a strong and rhythmically balanced sound. James Whetzel learned to play palm wine guitar music from the Ghanaian artist Koo Nimo, and the Nigerian artist I.K. Dairo.
