Performance and recording by Alfredo Santa Ana, music by Steve Reich

*Ongoing research continues to trace much of the musical material present in this work to artists and communities in Africa—particularly to the Banda Linda people in the Central African Republic. As a performer of this piece, I acknowledge the significance of this research as it has expanded my own understanding and appreciation of how different quotes and techniques present in this work are derived from principles beyond a Western European music tradition. I believe the findings in this research can begin to restore traditions and honour histories that are essential for anyone wanting to assess a fuller understanding of this seminal work.
