Now you can dance the magic of Kripalu in your own living room with KDZ’s rousing and varied rhythms. A great way to rock your chakras awake and stimulate your inner serpent.
- Anodea Judith, author Wheels of Life, Eastern Body, Western Mind
I love every cell of KDZ and the shaktified rhythms that come through them. This CD is a must for yoga, movement & living freedom.
- Shiva Rea, Yogini
Over the past five years, I've seen KDZ grow into a very sophisticated musical force here at Kripalu. This CD captures KDZ's inspiring variety and spontaneity--and I guarantee that when you hear it you will be compelled to get up and dance! I was!
- Stephen Cope, Director, Kripalu Institute for Extraordinary Living; author of Yoga and the Quest for the True Self, and The Wisdom of Yoga
I've found my new workout cd. Thanks KDZ!
- Vandita, Director of Kripalu Yoga Teachers Association
Joyous and bright, Slang Rhythm Speak will keep you dancing through your day!
- Bhavani Lorainne Nelson, spirit conduit for chanting and meditation and ecstatic living
For over 12 years I have celebrated dance, drumming and transformation with KDZ and they have been such a consistent part of my own healing experience. Now I get to share them and their magic to women in my retreats. They just keep getting better and better.
- Sierra Bender, retreat leader for Bootcamp For Goddesses, Fitness expert, Shaman

Welcome to KDZ's living room! You will laugh, move, maybe even cry with the passion and fun emanating from the hands of these drummers and musicians. Real music made by real people not afraid to set their hearts, and ours, on fire.
- Mark Kelso, Music producer, recording artist, composer
KDZ knows how to take great musical performance and make a great recording out of it. Check out their new CD!
- Russill Paul, author, teacher and music producer of The Yoga of Sound
KDZ is without a doubt my favorite drumming team in the world. KDZ's first album was fabulous, this second one is even better - if possible. You can't sit still and listen to KDZ; they MAKE you get up and move! They're the best!
- Megha Nancy Buttenheim, Director Danskinetics Teacher Training
KDZ is my new Theme Music! Grrrrrrr.....
- The one and only: Mr. T
KDZ's drumming is a prescription that every health insurance plan should provide!
- Chico Valentine, electroacoustic musician
Whenever I hear Cassa.. I can't sit still, I need to boogie.
- Amber, Dancer, Groover, professional 80's trivia buff, and good friend to the band

Our KDZ Villagers
Lipbone Redding
Solely with his pursed lips, vocal chords, and sometimes and empty wine glass, Lipbone adds an amazing Cuban trumpet flare to Firetruck, transforming our rhythmgoove to a street scene celebrating a random mid-day fire alarm evacuation. See him in action.
Rich Goodhart
On Dousongoni Daydream and Afro-Groove, Rich shares his melodic genius with all of us. A very unique element to our usual rhythmic frenzy, Rich not only manages to migrate his sound with ours, but by doing so he expands both tracks beyond even both of our expectations.

This album took a village to complete, so we wanted to briefly highlight the guest musicians/fellow villagers that contributed their talents to the album.
 Mark Kelso
With a music career spanning more than 30 years, more than 20 solo albums and just as much experience as a music producer at Muddy Angel Studios, Mark's presence in any way is a blessing. His subtle piano pad in Afro-Groove is no exception to that rule. Keep an eye out for KDZ's Yoga CD which will more than likely include even more of Mark's talents.
(don't ya love this image ;)
Two others who grace this album with their talents:
Mohamed Camara
&
Tim Brenner
Mohamed is a 15 year old djembe prodigy, his solos are prominent throughout Djole and Cassa, his ability speaks for itself... so you'll just have to listen to believe it.
Tim is a former Kripalu Drummer, his early efforts laid foundation for what is now KDZ. His handiwork can be heard on Cassa (shakere) and Djole (bell). Having Tim on this album is such a gift to us.
