Excellent video. The lady's a little creepy, though.
I have a friend who is a percussionist and ethnomusicologist. When he lived in west Africa, he joined a local drumming group that also was a life insurance cooperative. (The membership dues provided a fund that helped pay for burials for the members.)
Thanks for posting this. I needed the pick-up.
And I'm glad you guys are okay.
glad you're ok
Wow. thanks for the embed. A jaded soul might have muttered 'Bo Diddley Redux' for the similarities to his favorite beat, but I was entranced, and enthralled by the choice of those four repeating chords near the end, just awesome. I also think lots about the very real and prosaic technical dogwork needed to create what is then presented as sublime 'happy' in its unadorned essence. Mining the niobium for the rare-earth magnets in the head-phones, for example. Happy is nicest when the devil, with the details, don't get in the way of the camera. Almost forget: Thanks again, a fine find.
@jsolberg - I love the percussion instruments they cobbled together; not too pretty, but sounding great!
The storm has passed, for the most part. We are looking at a line of dark clouds moving our way. By tomorrow, it will be as hot as Hades around here; it always is after a hurricane passes. I hope to get back into regular blogging here shortly, it's been an interesting year; I need some distance from events in order to get some perspective on them.
