MUSICAL COMPOSITION / ARRANGEMENT

Tyrik Washington, “African Artifacts,” Study With the Best
http://www.cuny.tv/show/studywiththebest/PR1012620

Study With the Best, CUNY TV 's popular monthly television magazine, is designed to communicate with a college-bound audience. The series highlights the rewards of a college education, the challenges, the fun, and the excitement of student life on CUNY campuses.

The musical arrangement in this segment, “African Artifacts,” takes on a very aggressive approach in displaying the various African countries and traditions spoken about in the segment. Using Djembe drums, Dun Dun, and bongos as the foundation of the music, and adding some synth sounds as accents, the music sets the tone of the African Artifacts’ journey.
