This is Bulgarian national music! Wonderful played! Greetings from Bulgaria!
I love him. He came to my university today, and everyone was BLOWN away by him.
The drums on this are next level.
Totally.
He just made the harmonica my favorite instrument.
Who knew that it could sound so beautiful.
Quite breathtaking. I couldn't stop watching.
Great music, and the drumming is incredibly melodic! Can't compliment Lucy and Brendan enough for their sublime artistry.
Like a spice rack for the ears! So earthy and sensuous, really transcendent & etherial. The percusion was just the right touch to carry the melody line along. The way the two played off each other's cues was sensational! Thank you for the great post! ~Jon
Master musicians with a masterful arrangement.
ok, i am addicted to this tune now!!! beautiful duet!!! nice solo! thank you for posting
a real master!!! i hv attended his preformance last night in hongkong.. wwow.. wonderful!!
he can play all kind of music, and i can feel his love to music and harmonica.
so dynamic, creative, willing to share, smart, kind.. talented of cuz.
although i know nothing about harmonica, but deadly admire his passion on creating his own music and instrument.
I..I know I'm blown away by the talent and interplay, but i'm having real trouble deciding who to be more impressed by....they are both gifted.
Awsome, Lucy! One of my favourites...Thanks so much.
Fantastic :D its great to hear such great performance of our national rhythms ! Many congrats from Bulgaria : )
Great playing here as usual Lucy :-)-
I so like your relaxed style...
Brendan is amazing also...

Fabulous piece of music .... awesome playing!
We have added it to a couple playlists
Thanks for the FaQ, Sir.
One of the only 7/8-Tunes I really adore
"hahah 2:40 - 2:50 is an awkward ten seconds lol"
Huh? As she's finishing up her solo she glances up and makes eye contact -- so he knows she's done -- then she plays a tasty little descending riff leading back into the main rhythm, he says "Yeah!" to acknowledge her solo, then she lands on the main rhythm and he restates the main melodic theme.
Seen/done that exchange a million times. Can't imagine what YOU saw.
Nice mystical quality about this piece. I like it.
Wow, I never expected this duo to be so damn sweet! MORE!

It is called a bodhran. The player presses their hand up against the inside of the drum head (typically made of goat skin) to change the pitch. Various shapes of the hands will evoke different changes in pitch. Lucy Randall is a true pro at doing this. I should know, I've been trying to do what she does for years now...
Better and more exciting than the original thing, it is amazing how both of you were able to catch even the smallest details
thannk u for your music from your brazilian fan....
Insanely amazing and masterful.....deeeeep bows from India...
It is 7/8 in three variations. I got email from Brendan himself. He clarified for me completely. Thanks Brendan.
Great song. Both instruments sound good, none is above the other.
unbelievable, this perfection. wonderful
I thought I could play the harmonica, now I realise I’m just a beginner. This is bloody amazing
Absolutely fabulous!
Playing music like this with a woman must be the next most intimate thing to making love. Absolutely amazing.
totally sweet and soulful with a nice energy
Sounds like Bulgarian folk music - probably what the title refers to. Cant believe my tiny country influenced you guys :P really great playing
Yes brendan,what a sound!!!really really nice....

Woah. I didn't know harmonicas could do that. I am VERY impressed. I also think that this is the neatest thing I've run into today.
А бе, много хубаво ! Да сте живи и здрави !
Fan-freakin-tastic! Amazing, wonderful, awesome, mind-blowing....
Awesome, you play it very natural and replace interestingly usual violins. I think you're a fantastic player and adventurer.
Awsome!!
I just can't stop listen to that ;]
Una maravilla de sonoridad. Un fuerte saludo desde Canarias.
Spellbinding. I didn't know a harmonica could sound as beautiful as that.
wasn't really expecting him to play that on a harmonica.... awesome!!!
❤❤❤❤❤ very very beautiful!!!
Really awsome, great to hear different sounds, plus I like how it has a little ambient feel to it. And like nchune said, that's a really tasty drumsolo.
Incredible! So good!
This is amazing!!!!!!
Close your eyes, and it seems like Lucy is surrounded by a complicated set of drums. Open your eyes and marvel that its just a single 12" bodhran and a puny little stick. She's like a wizard.
I would sure like to see what is going on the other side of that drum.
Awesome, Both of you!!!
Hi, the drum is called Tupan its Bulgarian, the whole song is in traditional Bulgarian rhythm not Irish. The Tupan is wrilly close to Bodhran, and we also have pipes as the Irish, but the way we use our so similar instruments is amazingly different. I think Brendan Power captured that in astonishing way in this song : )
Yeah man! what a duo. very nice timbre!
/ Filip Jers - Diatonic and Chromatic Harmonicaplayer
WOW, amazing music.
Cool! I like the drum. Never seen one like that before!
Arabic harmonica. Now I've officially heard everything.
just amazing
that was great!!!!!!!!!!!
fantastic!
hahahahaha good childhood memories :P i love all these videos from rpoland
It sure is... Lucy is and has been in my top 5 players list for some years now...
Awsome, love it.
Wonderful!!!!
loved it!!
WOW i love it
yay! soooo flawless!
I like Lucy's relaxed style with her tipper hand. She clearly shows that bodhran players don't need to be giving themselves Carpal Tunnel Syndrome with wild wrist gyrations.
He's probably playing a Suzuki SCX Chromatix, search Suzuki harmonicas on youtube you get a load of videos of him playing them...
Awesome awesome awesome, and is it my imagination, or has Joni Mitchell time traveled from circa-1969 to perform with this guy. I always suspected she'd mastered space, time and dimension.
Whew! Very nice!
This just made my day!
:-)
unreal, the two of them.
Thats like the first time I ever heard an epic harmonica. Holy shit 0_0 10/10
amazing ！greeting from China
Very Good This is Very nice
3º!! amazing musician
YEAH!! AMAZING!!!
Freaking awesome!
That would be a Bodhrán used a lot in Irish Folk. and I agree. very cool stuff guys.
GREAT!!! JUST GREAT!!!
sooo damn good!
great stuff ,,
From Bulgaria, too! :)
almost bulgarian :)))))) hehe,God bless you!
oh wow
I thank Christian Hedwitschak (bodhran maker) for pointing out this video.
A great performance.
magnifique
i would give my big toe to study with Mr. Power!
Beauftiful!
I love Brendan's Rainman impression starting at 2:18
this music is so great! I can pictures myself being the camel!
nice to hear some balkan/odd time stuff an harp. No of anyone is Australia playing that style?
Muito bom, Very Good....
awesome
Hey folk music is cool either way you look at it whether its Bulgarian, Russian, Japanese, or Hell even American, I love it all. I mean just look at loituma levan pollka
this is great! seems like a 7/8 rhythm am i right?
awesome,,,realy god
usual? AS USUAL? This ain't usual, . . . i ain't NEVER heard nothing like, . . . this is slammin', man. Phil G.
Great sound, I'll have to research some time how to play a bodhrán like that..
WOW!
awesome i like that harmonica style haha
Impresionante técnica Brendan!.
Bodhram and Armonica teamed sooooo good!
Wich armonica is he playin'? could anyone tell us?
love it....im guessing there some sort of diaphram in the back of that drum to change the depth of the sound.
2-2-3 & 3-2-2 mix!
good hearing you got there mister
Extraordinário !
I've never seen anyone play the car tire that well! :p
I like it - you were way ahead of your time exploring that genre Brendan. What kind of harp is that ?
