Nigerian Master Drummer Olatunji describes how he arrived in North America in the early 1960s as a Rotary Scholar, intending to become a dipomat. After receiving his Ph.d., he recognized that a life of politics would force him to compromise himself too much, so he vowed to devote his life to music. "We need to do a lot of healing today with music," he says, speaking passionately about the need for people to cultivate their humanity towards each other. "Music energizes our nerves, our heart, everything in us - lifts us to our feet, can bring us peace of mind." - 1993 Santa Cruz - One Audiotape
