The explanation behind the making of Sing to the Well a CD and DVD recorded in Tanzania. This is the story of an African village, it's people and their songs, whose simple existence is determined each year by the weather. Primarily a farming community of approximately 4000, who eke out a living in a sometimes inhospitable land, where dry river beds are the norm and walking 2 km for water is considered a favourable year. Yet woven into the very fabric of their lives is a unique traditional music which brings a story of hope within the struggles of day to day life. This project is a musical glimpse of the sounds, stories and rhythms of a beautiful people, the Gogo, whose life's are not stifled by harsh realities, but a people who still have hope and a creative passion to sing, dance and give thanks to their God.

    Martin, you are a brilliant drummer and storyteller. Africa's story needs to be told, over and over again. Thank you, friend, for all you and Rebekah do to let the world feel the drumbeat of Africa.
