Heritage O.P. is a world beat percussion and vocal ensemble that fuses the rich cultural traditions and diasporal rhythms of Africa – from South America to the Caribbean – with African American tradition and modern musical trends.Their sound is contemporary with a strong beat and positive lyrics designed to uplift, inspire and move the listener to dance.They do this, however, using mostly traditional instruments as they share a deep respect for the beauty of acoustical sound and natural resonance. Hence the O.P. stands for organic percussion.
