Not to get stuck in an indie rock groove, here's something completely different from my previous musical offerings.
The mbira was one of my favorite instruments from my intro level world music course way back in the day (along with the magic of the gamelan). The kids recently got hooked on this video, from the Duramazwi Mbira Group. Hypnotic thumb piano and chanting, good for the soul.

I built a bass kalimba yesterday.
if you smack it with a solenoid and capture the vibrations using a piezo pickup (contact mic) it sounds a lot like a bass drum!

Electrified roots music from Congo with a “clear” Punk feeling…
Le style de Konono n°1, c’est tout un ensemble de rythmiques qui vous hypnotisent et vous amènent aux portes de la transe (pianos à pouces ou sanza/likembe, et percussions bricolés avec des morceaux de métal et des pièces de voitures recyclés) appuyées par des guitares et des basses électriques… pour former un mélange entre la tradition (Bazombo) et les distorsions des instruments “customisés”.
from KoToNTeeJ (2014)Le titre de leur album “Assume Crash Position“, enregistré à Kinshasa, est une traduction libre de “Konono”… Globalement, c’est “attachez vos ceintures, lorsque vous écoutez notre musique, et assumez…”
