Jerry Garcia plays guitar on two of the album's five tracks. The song "Happiness Is Drumming" is an early, instrumental version of "Fire on the Mountain". On Allmusic Jeff Tamarkin called Diga "a compelling and powerful recording that draws in the listener with its spellbinding rhythms." Writing in The Music Box in 2008, John Metzger said that
the album "effectively introduced percussion-driven, globally minded
grooves to an entirely new audience. It also was far ahead of its
time... Diga is, in hindsight, a very uneven affair... If viewed
from the perspective that it was the beginning rather than the end of a
journey, it's much easier to see Diga' s charms." Side one No. Title Length 1. "Razooli" (Ray Spiegel) 2:50 2. "Happiness is Drumming" 3:17 3.
