Innerpercussion - vocal percussion music

What is "inner percussion"? 
Believe it or not, this means that the entire drum set, tabla and conga you hear is played within the mouth, with use of tongue, palate and the throat. On some tracks more conventional percussion instruments are used to layer and compliment these natural sounds.

There are no overdubs - the sound is live.

"I have had the pleasure of playing with Yaman and it was a lot of fun to listen to his innovative sounds. He is very easy to play with, has a great sense of rhythm and his sounds are somewhat similar to what Bobby Mcferrin can do with his mouth and body. I hope we get a chance to play together again some day."
Mads Vinding 

"It was a great experience for me when I met Yaman some years ago.
I never heard something like that - the way he makes vocal percussion is
very original. He has a great talent for grooves and improvisation.
And I hope that we one day can inter-act together making new music.
Pierre Dørge, bandleader for New Jungle Orchestra"
