Liner Notes

"AFRICAN ASCENSION" is a musical tribute to the Africans and their spiritual evolution. The Yoruba worship many Gods while the Masai's consciousness evolved to worship God in the sun, but the Zulu's consciousness evolved even further to worship God in THE SPIRIT which is LOVE and is in all people, places and things.
