I never realized until this past week how mind numbingly repetitive Africa is. It's just the same few phrases over and over with almost no variation whatsoever. I know most pop songs are like that, but it's especially boring after a while.

Gravelstudios gets it.


Raggamuffin - 2015-10-24

let's not harp on Africa

This is a great song, and this girl does an excellent job performing it.


Old_Zircon - 2015-10-24

That's almost all pop music. Pop music is 99% timbre.


That guy - 2015-10-24

Sure, OZ, but some pop does that with less imbecilic lyrics, melody and harmony, let alone the timbre.
Also, why is the percussion so boring when the song literally mentions African drums in it?
The song's so bad it made Cena love it.

Woah, That Guy. Relax. Slow down a bit. Take some time to do the things you never had. Maybe even worship some precipitation.

As the sun sets on Africa Week, I wanted to do a self-submit of me playing Africa on my Hamilton Piano, but I can't do it, and I'm a self-prescribed "pretty good" piano player so I'm not going to do it.. but I can keep practicing! My neighbors must wonder why they've heard the same song song 100 times.

Here's the story about the percussion.
"So when we were doing "Africa" I set up a bass drum, snare drum and a hi-hat, and Lenny Castro set up right in front of me with a conga. We looked at each other and just started playing the basic groove. ... The backbeat is on 3, so it's a half-time feel, and it's 16th notes on the hi-hat. Lenny started playing a conga pattern. We played for five minutes on tape, no click, no nothing. We just played. And I was singing the bass line for 'Africa' in my mind, so we had a relative tempo. Lenny and I went into the booth and listened back to the five minutes of that same boring pattern. We picked out the best two bars that we thought were grooving, and we marked those two bars on tape...Maybe it would have taken two minutes to program that in the Linn, and it took about half an hour to do this. But a Linn machine doesn't feel like that!"

For a wedding.


infinite zest - 2015-10-24

She takes requests you know! Poll time, if you were getting married what song would you want played on the Harp? I don't get to pick because my wedding was sabotaged by Paco Bell Cannon.. wasn't my choice.


Miss Henson's 6th grade class - 2015-10-24

Stars for the Paco Bell cannon. That Paco's a real cabrón sometimes, you know esse?

Also the stuff on her channel seems to fit right in on here. I'm a bassoonist, she's a haripst, all we need is a cittern and some variety of aerophone and we've got Emerald Hill Zone on lock, yo!

Hurry, boy! They're waiting there for you!

I know there's an edit button around here somewhere.


bac - 2015-10-24

Edit button is only for videos you've submitted.


That guy - 2015-10-24

REALLY?


Callamon - 2015-10-25

All harp players will do anal.


That guy - 2015-10-26

I 100% buy that, and I don't know why.


Nikon - 2015-10-26
