Baiana - Brazilian body music

submitted by blahpook

1 decade 5 years 11 months 2 weeks ago

Brazilian group, Barbatuques, performs the song Baiana using foot stomps, hand claps, voice, and other parts of the body to create music (with the help of what sounds like a didgeridoo).

Here's another video showing off more body percussion:

"What sounds like a didgeridoo" is actually a mouth harp, which is used in folk music all around the world. This guy is damn good at playing it.

I think this is a new candidate for crappiest audio on YouTube - and it's a musical piece. Video quality is likewise terrible. I much less lossy transcoding of the same recording can be found here:

Here's one even better at the mouth harp:
