The Offense of the Drum is the Grammy Award-winning album from Arturo O'Farrill & The Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra. Taking a totally fresh approach to Afro Latin jazz, these musicians blend big band with reggaeton and elements of Afro-Caribbean, New Orleans, and African music, with an emphasis on percussion, including nearly 30 different kinds of instruments. The album came about as a response to a New York City ban on drumming circles, and spins powerful spoken word performances with the Orchestra's particular musical fusion to comment on the cultural hybridity of America and its colonial legacy.

What is High-Resolution Audio?

High-resolution audio offers the highest-fidelity available, far surpassing the sound quality of traditional CDs. When you listen to music on a CD or tracks purchased via consumer services such as iTunes, you are hearing a low-resolution version of what was actually recorded and mastered in the studio. ProStudioMasters offers the original studio masters — exactly as the artist, producers and sound engineers mastered them — for download, directly to you.

What do I need for playback?

You may need additional software / hardware to take full advantage of the higher 24-bit high-res audio formats, but any music lover that has heard 16-bit vs 24-bit will tell you it's worth it!
