His 2018 release "Universal Beings" won ardent acclaim from Rolling Stone, the New York Times and NPR. Now, the Chicago-based drummer/producer returns with 14 new pieces of "organic beat music" cut at that album’s sessions. Makaya prepared these as a soundtrack to the "Universal Beings" documentary. See that film when you can, and listen to these transfixing grooves full of inspired improv on CD or vinyl: "Everybody Cool," "Half Steppin’," "Mak Attack," "The Hunt," "Beat Science," "Isms" and more! International Anthem.
