I'm looking for chill, groovy music that features hand percussion, no "normal" drumsets or electronic beats.
Instrumental would be best, but some pleasant singing would also be okay.
Nothing shrill or too experimental.
Is there anything that inspired this to put us in the right direction? Would something like 75 Dollar Bill fit the bill?
Portico Quartet has some good hang drum stuff but has some pretty surface level jazz horns that you might find boring and lame.
I don't think that this fits very cleanly into the groovy or chill end of things (unless you find meditative states to be chill), but if you haven't heard Tabla Tarang: Melody on Drums by Pandit Kamalesh Maitri & Trilok Gurtu, I'm pretty sure it'd be up your alley.

This was the album that inspired a conversation that led me to searching for this stuff:
75 Dollar Bill are a good contender, although they are a bit too noisy sometimes.
Portico Quartet actually do feature drums and electronic beats (and are mostly pretty lame overall).
Tabla Tarang is not really what I was looking for, but it's a great album that I haven't known before, so thanks for that!

Thank you Epikouros, but three of those feature normal drumsets and one doesn't have any percussion instruments at all, so not at all what I was looking for.

i know these are not exactly what you are looking for, they have all this relaxing long jam style. Also the album Starlight Anarchy by Stone Rebel has this style. I think it is real challenge to find an album identical to Stories Of The Astral Lizard..!

Yeah, I'm surprised how hard it is to find something in the same vein. I listen to a lot of psychedelic jam music and haven't found anything else yet.
You'd think that trippy hippie stuff and some exotic percussion would go hand in hand.
