I come back to this every few years and am still blown away by how whimsical and otherworldly this sounds. One of the few songs that has the ability to transport you somewhere far away from here.
My father showed me this video when i was young, now that i just found it it brings back alot of memories. He played it all around the house and when i couldn't sleep he would pull out his phone and played this for me. My older cat named neo used to love this song as well, so when he passed away during January we played this for him on his last living night and when we buried him. Thank you so much for doing this so i can have those memories right here in this video :)
It's honestly amazing how many different kinds of instruments people have thought up over the last few thousand years. I have to wonder, how much is planned and how much is just trial and error?
Actually these instruments kalimba, mbira and sansula etc are way older than that. We don't even know how old for sure but you can learn more at Kalimbamagic and see all the great instruments available.
We have been making instruments for an incredibly long time. Check out rock gongs. They are so old we can only take guesses at how they were usually played.
14 years later, and this song still lives inside me. I'm so glad for this gift. I've changed so much through these years, but the part of me who discovered and fell in love with this piece and with the kalimba is still there, unchanged ❤
❤ 14 years go very very quickly. You have scary times so many up and down.... but in the end we are still here somehow... i knownthere should have been many i should have just gone but miraculously survived.. I have a amazing 7yr old boy and right when I won full custody of him then when he was not even 6months old i found a beautiful girl and now she has been the love of my life for the past 7 years and I'm so scared she is going to leave me ann it's unreal everyday I wake up and think today is the day she's going to turn around and just leave..
we couldn't decide which is true: +SaReGaMa: a) you first composed this on sheet then performed b) you improvised from one theme to the other over a long time and played them back to back for this performance
mikael henry know any good places to get a decent one, for relatively cheap but with a good amount of keys? ( i already tried ebay, too expensive for me atm)
that what i think.I saw that cost 50 ou 40 $ but at this price you have 5 or 6 blades, while in putting $ 100 you have a handmade instrument and set to the lotus music :)
Do you have a remaster of this? Id like to hear it with the best possible audio quality. If you dont that's fine I will continue to listen to this from time to time
I doubt anybody else is reminded of this, but whenever I hear this song it makes me think of a small river in some forest and everything just feels so peaceful and calm. I listen to this when ever I get too stressed and it always works to calm me down
This is probably one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard on an instrument as "simple" as the kalimba...an instrument one can pull out of a pocket. Speedy texters already have a leg up with this little beauty of an instument.
I love this instrument, the hard thing about this song is the rithm difference between the two hands. It requires a lot of practice and I've yet to master this skill. I'M NOT GIVING UP THOUGH!!!
It can make the mind calm .. and I was picturing I was in a forest and mingle it .. I met many animals there .. this song really got me into the vast imagination
If you hesitate to buy one of these amazing instrument, please don't ! It's been only 2 months that I have one kalimba, and 3 days one karimba (the same that on the video) and I enjoy so much to play with it ! These instrument have a sound that no one can dislike !
I was watching this on another site, and immediately thought- this needs to be recorded :O so i came to youtube and saw that not only is there an mp3, buts its for free! my day has been made!
Incredible emotions. I've had wonderful visions when I listen to this many times. I see a being running around searching for something for an enormous amount of time through trees in moonlight. 2 mins in it starts to skip & dance before a full lift off into complete weightlessness & then descends back down to previous reality with a vague sense of immortality. Thanks for your beautiful music.
Just bought the tabs and video for this song and currently learning it! I also picked up a kalimba from him about 6 years ago, and he’s really as magical as the instrument…
I always find myself coming back to kalimba covers because it's such a beautiful and versatile instrument, but this is one of my favorite videos to revisit
I'm trying to focus on which notes are played by which thumb, and I can hear the ones on the right thumb but why does it sound like the left thumb doesn't match up with those set of notes?
The beats for either thum are off-like the right one is played evenly where it goes back and forth on the beat. But it the left hand it’s kind of a dactyl pattern with long short short. So no, they don’t line up.
Hello. I m going to buy a kalimba, and want to ask a question: why in your video it sounds really well, but in other videos, it sounds bad. Does this depends on a kalimba or your skills?
Depends on brand and microphone quality. What I play in this video is the Hugh Tracey Karimba, it has the best sound comparing to any other kalimba I have played.
I come back to this every few years and am still blown away by how whimsical and otherworldly this sounds. One of the few songs that has the ability to transport you somewhere far away from here.
You're right for sure. It's been 3 years since i've found this song and i still come back to it and enjoy.
yep it still does it for me and ive heard it about once every 6 months for the past 6 or 7 years
Same here, so great eheh

思い出の曲は、いつまでも忘れないですね
ネオは家族の愛に支えられて
旅立ち、今もあなたの側に
寄り添い見守り続けていると思います
❤
The melody is very emotional, it opens strange areas of my mind.
thats called surpressed emotion xd
Under a tin shed in the middle of the rain forest eating an apple while its raining
No.
yeah made me think of my bad relationship with my family
Reminds me of a creepy doll watching me while a roll down a jukebox
Quit talking about texting and pay this artist some respect! Astounding skills, it's like magic. I bow before you!

PREACH

+Bery well, it's already used by some to make videos. guess we won't wait long till it is used as an music instrument too...

One of the best African instruments.
elect1 which part of Africa does this instrument come from?
Zimbabwe
nono theeee best :3
it' s clearly american
CombraStudios What is American ? This instrument ?

After all this years, i keep coming back for this masterpiece. it's so beautiful.
I come back to this video every now and then and it still puts a massive smile on my face. It’s so good thank you 🙌🏼
私もここに戻って来ます☺️
This is the solution to so many problems in the world.
if there is a starving child in front of you you would just seat in front of it and play with your kalimpa?
Haze yes
Haze actually music can soothe hunger, for a short time of course, anyways what would you do? oh that is right nothing, like the rest of us.
can it raise my grades in math tho
@@dariazaldrizoti900 not directly but yes. Your mind likes entertaining and adapts to learn new things over time.
I keep coming back after years, hope this video never gets deleted
Me too
Same, this song makes me feel nostalgic
The feeling when you hear it is undescribable. It's so peaceful and a relaxing sensation. I love it 👍💓
After 4 years, I'm still loving it!
The opening part feels like that specific part of the movie where the protagonist is close on solving the crime/riddle.
Jazzglenn It reminds me of the scene in London in Star Trek: Into Darkness.
heh, I think it better fits a documentary
for me, it's fleeing at night
Wow !! Cheers for your skills..
The instrument sound is just so heavenly and nostalgic !!!
Dhiren Khantwal Nostalgic?
Dhiren Khantwal yeah. Makes me think of when I was younger
THIS IS SO AMAZING
Nigdy nie byłem na imprezie techno, na mojej szyi wisi heavy metal 🤘🏼

This guy can accurately text 300 words a minute.
Only 300? This guy is OVER 9000!!
I wonder if these types of comments still exist in 2022.
It sounds the way magic would sound, like an enchanted fairytale with mythical creatures dancing in the woods.
Are u a hocotpus?
Quiet possibly... what's a hocotpus btw? haha
I'ts you
I never knew
Now you do
It's the first time I've ever heard of the instrument (thanks to tumblr) and OMG it's amazing, I want to buy one now and play it
that what i did ;)
mikael henry know any good places to get a decent one, for relatively cheap but with a good amount of keys? ( i already tried ebay, too expensive for me atm)
i bought the lotus kalimba (the same on the video) on the website of the video description. expensive but it's exactly the same
mikael henry ah ok, so the only way i can get a good one is if i pay a decent amount?
that what i think.I saw that cost 50 ou 40 $ but at this price you have 5 or 6 blades, while in putting $ 100 you have a handmade instrument and set to the lotus music :)
The addition of loose metal rings on the keys is genius to add that rattling texture to each note played.
何度も聴いて又聴きたくなり戻って来ちゃいます
素敵なメロディーに魅せられてしまう😭❤
ありがとう！僕の音楽があなたに響いていると知って嬉しいです。😊
Depois de 10 anos consegui reencontrar esse vídeo, estou muito feliz 😍
Do you have a remaster of this? Id like to hear it with the best possible audio quality. If you dont that's fine I will continue to listen to this from time to time
Im back. Ill be here from time to time
This is the the most perfect song ever
I doubt anybody else is reminded of this, but whenever I hear this song it makes me think of a small river in some forest and everything just feels so peaceful and calm. I listen to this when ever I get too stressed and it always works to calm me down
again i keep coming back to this like a lot of people
nothing quite like it
This is probably one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard on an instrument as "simple" as the kalimba...an instrument one can pull out of a pocket.

QDR Quality do you master it now? :)
yeah have you? :O
Polyrhythms
Really? It doesn’t seem that complicated. Just alternating right?
Mastered it yet?
It can make the mind calm .. and I was picturing I was in a forest and mingle it .. I met many animals there .. this song really got me into the vast imagination
Very beautiful
So sweet melody...❤
I bet you rock at nintendo with those thumbs!

帰りたくなる場所をありがとう❤☺️✨
This dude shows the kalimba potential
This is absolutely mesmerizing and so beautiful💗

This reminds me of a song in FTL. Great sound.

TACONAFIDE - art B
90 Dislikes?! why? this is BRILLIANT.
In my opinion, the touching nature of this music is clearly an act of love. Thank you for shining light into the world.
One of the pieces which changed my career... If I'm now a kalimba maker, It's mostly because of you, Serge !
OHH NIGDY NIE BYŁEM NA IMPREZIE TECHNO

if you were standing in front of him while he was doing this, it would look like he is texting furiously on a wooden phone
Haha, yes! :) That's so true. Good thing he's doing something better than texting though!♡
haha yea man once i stood in front of this guy and he was abosolutely furious with me xxx
GOOGLE STAHP PLZ you’d have to be deaf aswell tho
LOL😆Been there!
He's texting the ancestors
The perfect instrument for people who are addicted to their phone
Hahahaha
Nathan Vleugels You got me thinking of writing a Kalimba app... I checked App Store -- somebody beat me to it.
Nathan Vleugels ! XD
+Nathan Vleugels True xD
Nathan Vleugels lol
j'adore !continue tu as du talent !!!
I listened this song over five years, and now I learn how to play Kalimba by myself. Thank you so much 🤍
I had a really bad day. Then I heard this song. Today wasn't so bad after all.
Transformative ❤
It's beautiful…
the medicine of the soul...
Year after year I visit this video when I need inspiration on top of relaxation. Amazing.

Otóż to
Jeszcze jak
jak najbardziej
i have a kalimba and i procrastinated it so much i cant even play the basics
shit
Enter the university and procrastinate using the kalimba
Sometimes you have to come up with your own tones
how long has the guy in the video been playing and how can i learn? seems like a very interesting a nice instrument.
Incredible emotions. I've had wonderful visions when I listen to this many times.
I see a being running around searching for something for an enormous amount of time through trees in moonlight. 2 mins in it starts to skip & dance before a full lift off into complete weightlessness & then descends back down to previous reality with a vague sense of immortality.
Thanks for your beautiful music.

I WANT THIS SO BADLY NOW.
Oh i want this to play Save Return from the Avatar's Aang soundtrack!
+Master Duster And the Avatar's Love tune too :3
I got one and its what I default to playing when Im bored. Also some stuff like "A Peaceful Place" from Korra
by the look of your profile picture, u' like this music
I bet this guy's really good at texting
George Wang or maybe he does not text at all, he spends his time practicing
He is really good at a lot of things, actually.
Smartphone for poor people
as a kalimba player, i type fast but im not good at texting on a phone lol
too small
So so beautiful.Reminds me of peace and love and nature and all the beautiful things in this world.LOVE LOVE LOVE!

+SaReGaMa Do you know "terre"? I think thats the maker of my kalimba. I still didnt buy it, bcs thinking is it worth it :D
Did you know Hugh Tracey's grandson or great grandson is on TH-cam? His account is Atheism Is Unstoppable. He's a real funny guy.
Dovydas Ki because this one is one of the best. Its B17 and its not piano version,its thumb drum. And 100 Dollars...
I'd like to get this instrument for my daughter. I'm not clear what you are calling it and where to find one. Could you steer me? Thanks.
This is so relaxing listening to it at night when I'm totally baked.
Love the tempo at 1:37. I already have my 12-key on order. Can't wait to play. Excellent video and beautiful music. Thanks.
I'm just imagining a vivid rainforest. Something wonderful about just relaxing and being swept away by music.
Reminds me a bit of the music from Alice: Madness Returns (for example Vale of Tears or Card Castles in the Sky).
hi dante, DSG needs you
wow what theme is this? This is freaking amazing
it's not a theme
no I meant if I would download a version of this
SoldierCyfix This guy made the song. He has a link for an MP3 download. I believe it's a pay what you want based off of donation.

Perfect instrument for people who text a lot.
Accuracy practice!
Reminds me of Avatar: The Last Airbender!
Good Smart phone app :D
Awesome!!! Wonderful melody!! Congrats Gabriel Lehto
Incroyable ! Je ne savais que c'était possible de jouer aussi bien avec cet instrument !
Add some viola and you've got some documentary music.

Dokładnie tak
Is this what they used to do some of the music on The Last Airbender?
Hehe, that's the first thing that has occured to me too. Love that show.
yep, they used a kalimba to play the soundtrack called safe return on last airbender
One of the most beautiful melodies I’ve heard on the kalimba❤️
What a beautiful, clear tone. A normal karimba sounds lovely, yours sounds magically lovely.
