Bakithi Kumalo - Wow! You heard this today?

[miles'tone]

I heard this today via Facebook and it's the most beautiful thing I've heard in ages.
Diamonds in the soles of her shoes - just isolated bass and vocals.
What a player!
Enjoy!

I love this version of the song!

Also very helpful if you ever want to learn it aswell!

You'll probably like this one too - see the man in action

Great line. Not so sure about the 'question mark' bass.

What is the bass he's playing there?!


Edit. It's a Avandaro Bass by Ansir Music (It says at the end)

Interesting to hear it 'dry'. Actually sounds easier than it does in the actual 'Graceland' track.

[Chris2112]

This was a track from the Japanese special edition of Graceland. It is marvellous. The alternate version of Homeless is fantastic too.

[Truckstop]

Yes I have a copy of the Japanese issue album - loads of special content! The version of Homeless is gorgeous. Just Paul, and acoustic guitar and the band leader of Ladysmith. Gorgeous!

It's on the latest reissue as well.

I have this version on my iPod, you can hear the rest of the track in the spill from the vocal take headphones.

Great bassist, great album and great bassline.

This thread made me go out and order "Graceland" off Amazon last night.

[Myke]

Never a bad choice!

Do you suppose it's the vocal headphones where that comes from? I had noticed it on a few part of the track if you listen to it with the volume turned right up, mainly the distant sound of the guitar coming through; it has that really sparkly sound that cuts through.

[AndyTravis]

Yeah, just sounds like a bit of spill.

On the version, there are backing vocals too, so it could be from headphones.

I'd assumed that anyway.
