Bennett chose to compose the mix from purely African and Haitian percussion music, and offered the following note to accompany it:

“There’s a critical, almost paradoxical, difference between not having permission to do something, and not knowing fully why. Listening to these extraordinary African percussion pieces beyond their original intent and outside their original context, it’s noticeable how much power they still have to entrance thanks to how much of ourselves we increasingly allow ourselves to bring to the experience.

“The percussion I’ve selected here is, for the most part, of the most aggressively high energy kind. Perhaps a concession to my own blunted frustrated tastes or perhaps a consolation for not being there to experience it live. I’ve created it in the form of a continuous mix because what might first appear as irreverence, to me seems totally respectful to this music’s true intent and function. I want it to be a non-stop listening experience in order for these complex doun-doun and djembe polyrhythms to ably work their magic. You’ll be grateful for them and it.”
