Nigerian Symphony (w/ Norm)
Fasten your seatbelts, this jeep is going deep into the heart of the jungle! Sound clips cut and pasted against Norm’s Fat Baby Bembe.
Nice crystal clear samples, dropped in at perfect times. ideal for this percussion track
Very cool!!
I feel trapped in an amazonian magicly tropical universe travelling through different vortexes!
surrounded and immersed
I missed out big time!!! Lol! I passed through Bauchi State when I went to Abakaliki in Ebonyi state.... The landscape was like something from jurrasic park.... I wish i saw some of those beasties..... I guess I didn't stay long enough.. Always next time! Love the track!
I did some research on Norm's Bembe beat which has Nigerian roots, then found Yankari National Park in Nigeria which does have rich wildlife resources. The park is an important refuge for over 50 species of mammal including African Bush Elephant, Olive Baboon, Patas Monkey, Tantalus Monkey, Roan Antelope, Western Hartebeest, Lion, African Buffalo, Waterbuck, Bushbuck and Hippopotamus. :)
I've been to Nigeria... Never saw any Lions or Tigers there... But this has got me thinking... Awesome track!!!!
This is great Rick. It's very REAL!
Sounds like we're back at The Lion King!
Ha! Yep, you're a kid - you probably love going to the zoo - if for nothing else but to capture more sound samples. Don't ever loose that. Forget the stove.
I think you are losing it...you could of done this on a Saturday and got the stove fixed at the same time :)
Made me want to eat somebody.
Ha! Good one! If I didn't keep my kids out of the studio while I was recording the conga tracks, it would have sounded a lot like this originally. And I want to go to Brian's pub.
Jungletastic!!!
