Just one small detail of this remarkable drum-heavy latest single and original composition deep cultural explorations of Chief Xian aTunde Adjuah's formerly Christian Scott. 'Xodokan Iko - Hu Na Ney' is from the New Orleans trumpeter composer innovator, chieftain of the Xodokan Nation of the maroon tribes of New Orleans and who also makes use of his own ''Chief's Bow'' on the album and rousingly introduces the late-July issuing of Bark Out Thunder Roar Out Lightning.
