For lots of great Array mbira videos go to" Patti Brussard Array mbira" - Hudba
Looks like a torture device and sounds like angel singing.
Sums it up perfectly
play despacito on it on repeat and itll look and sound the part
two in one
I mean, have you seen the "accurate" angel depiction? That thing looks... wrong
Yea
“A simple song”
*Proceeds to play an instrument I didn’t even know existed*
@@whitneyd6827 That instrument is Array Mbira
I thought it was a kalimba
@@ultimatedean1 yeh
That instrument is called "an underrated instrument"
@@ultimatedean1 it's array mbira. It's in the video. FYI.
I wasn’t expecting it To sound like that- it was really pretty
Me neither. I definitely was think like heavy metal guitar sounds or something
It's called an mbira or in my language (Ubo-akwara)
It sounds even more beautiful in real life
Magically beautiful.
As a kit drummer since 1962, I can't imagine that to be an easy instrument to play.
I used to play piano when I was little, I did for 5 years before quitting, I imagine it’s a similar Sisyphus’s Boulder of an instrument in learning how to play it
"What do you play?"
"A haunted rake"
Omfg 😂😂😂😂
I like the way you think.
I've been thinking of the handle of a fork this whole time :D
Lmao!!!!
I'm just gonna say that u have the best way of thinking ngl
I wish this man all the best in his life
yea man, wonder where he is now tho :0
Wow, the prophecy is true...

Sounds like an old music box I had as a child ❤
They're surprisingly similar instruments
@@daxtron2yeah, some prongs in there and a cylinder with bumps on them to pull and release them to make sound, like the hand does in the video
It sounds like empty glass bottles clinking together. Like wind chimes. So beautiful.

Now this is the kinda stuff I wanna see at 4 in the morning.

Especially 12 years after its posted
Its 4 in the afternoon for me
"simple song"
*Plays on an instrument I haven't seen in my life*
dude...I'm with you.
That doesn't mean the song isn't simple -_-
LOL EXACTLY
+brian its played on a very complicated looking instrument is what he meant
Matt Then that is what he should've said
So much has changed from when I first heard this song till now, I miss how things were then
This showed up on my homepage.
I love it when youtube recomends me stuff like this!
Always a fun time taking a trip down the internet history road. Especially when I can check up on what people are doing nowadays!
Shame he stopped uploading 3 years ago. Hope he's living his best life!
This sounds like everything is going to be alright
but it wont
"If only you knew how bad things really are."
*immediately dies of a heart attack*
That’s why it’s been recommended now
You'll regret this comment... And that's not a threat, that's a warning.
this video is from 2008 and the person still hearts the comment section.
hope you live forever and having a nice day.

Its crazy that this got in my recommended out of no where and to be honest IM GENUINELY impressed and hope this dude has been having a wonderful life. I now have a 15 year old video to help me sleep at night god bless this man.
I never even knew an instrument like this existed, let alone how beautiful it sounds. I got goosebumps! Thank you so much for sharing your talent and music with us ❤
It’s basically just a really big kalimba.
Agreed!! ❤

10 minutes ago and already 10 replies, nice

Is anyone gonna talk about the fact, that the instrument that looks like a metal claws, makes such a light and charming sound . Truly, sometimes look may be deceiving...
I mean...what did you expect? That each one is gonna play different parts of Doom's OST?
@@michajedrychowski1945 probably gonna play e1m1
Well maybe metal claws can be used to make beautiful music, but we never tried.
Also, even this instrument can be used to cause harm. So it does not matter what you posses, but how you use it.
Physics!
Its a bigger kalimba basically
Not me almost falling asleep at the bathroom after listening to this 😭This is so beautiful 💝 Thank you for posting this wonderful video for many to see and admire, maybe even inspire from!
This is so incredibly beautiful! ❤ The mbira is one of my favorite musical instruments, and it just doesn’t get the attention that it deserves. Thank you so much for sharing your gorgeous music on this incredible instrument! 🙏❤️🙏

CZcams: let’s put this in their RECOMMENDED
BUT
12 years later
It's always nice to see this in my recommended tab every few years, like an old friend you haven't quite kept in touch with, but who you see every so often, catching up like you saw each other only a few days prior.
The most soothing tune ever. It’s like a soft blanket for your ears
Have you listened to the music box (first part) of Davy Jones’ theme song? But yeah same
I'm probably gonna listen to this when I go to bed lol
that describes the feeling perfectly :)
The idea that his fingers are getting cut on the sharp metal
Robbie Sayers you had to ruin this for me huh
I imagine hearing this instrument in a Minecraft soundtrack
Well, C418 did use it in the Mojang Documentary
This is legitimately the first thing I thought of when i heard it.

Hi there, I wish I would’ve been recommended this 15 years earlier, because this song is so beautiful and calming, perfect for a rainy autumn day like this one💞
This sounded so much more beautiful than any piano or a guitar, in fact much lovely than I imagined ❤️👍
"Simple"

Well yes that is like me saying that unravel on the piano is a good warm up
Simple doesn't necessarily mean easy
@@gdaygerman29 welll you get the point I’m trying to make
Yes. It was.
@@gdaygerman29 it's not even theoretically simple though, theres a lot of dissonance and shit
Title: “simple song”
Guy in the video: **proceeds to play a masterpiece**
Some of the most beautiful music is simple.
You just have a bad taste, it's not even a song, its improvisation on 5 chords in 3 cycles, so its like A1 A2 A3 - variation form.
It's not that bad but definitely not even close to a masterpiece.
Example of masterpieces: czcams.com/video/IHdDugh_J98/video.html
@@Narragorth It’s beautiful. If it sounds beautiful, it may as well be a masterpiece
@@Narragorth r/iamverysmart
@@Narragorth I mean they're a really talented player sure but in a modern stand point it's super outdated and Ik it's down to preference but I feel no emotion in it. To me it just seems like they've crammed as many notes in as possible and ye you could tell me that it is very technical and that but a bit boring tho innit. 10/10 I'll put it in my sleep playlist
15 years have passed and yet it's so beautiful
This is marvelous absolutely marvelous
This sounds like it should be a Minecraft soundtrack song it’s amazing
Sounds like the Aether OST
If you play it on 0.75% speed it does.
This existed before Minecraft, my friend.
@@fnubbl7792 it's crazy to think about that

This looks less like an Instrument &
More like a Mediaeval Torture device
Or a comb for bears.
Lol both

If you let a woman rap over this it IS a turture device
But a beautiful sounding one
Спустя 15 лет этот ролик попал мне в рекомендации. Это прекрасно

The instrument looks like something from hell, but sounds like something from heaven.

Ya it does
Don't believe on what you see.
Just use an electrical grounding bar on some 1inch thick cedar and use rake tines cut down. Apply stain and varnish to your pleasure!
That’s why don’t judge a book by this cover...
This should be considered as an another internet checkpoint
Achievement unlocked!
Only took 15 YEARS to be recommended to me. Glad it was, though. It was really lovely. ❤
The algorithm has discovered that people like good old fashioned CZcams from a simpler time, where the only agenda for most was to share simple honest material.
i think the youtube gods put this in everyone’s recommendations 12 years later to give us something good since 2020 pretty much sucks😌
2020 isn't suking, especially for me
Holy i just realized all these comments were from yesterday jezz
Don’t worry Brielle. It’s about to get a lot better!
