The hand-tuned, goat-skin drums that made "Continental Drift" the most interesting cut on the Rolling Stones' Steel Wheels were played by the group Farafina from the West African nation of Burkina-Faso (formerly Upper Volta). Farafina's ability to fuse melody and rhythm with their tuned percussion instruments makes their own new U.S. album, "Faso Denou," a delightful treat for Western ears entranced by African polyrhythms but reluctant to give up their desire for harmony. --Geoffrey Himes
