I just love how she incorporates the Kalimba into this masterpiece for added emotional texture and tonal levity! Nothing short of a genius, being able to coordinate her feet and hands across percussion and strings, delivering rhythm, beats and a lovely melody all at the same time. I would die to have half of your inventiveness, commitment to your craft and thoughtfulness in what you do Yasmin. Love your shirt as well
a performance like this deserves a huge audience applauding and cheering... I did my best on my own by myself in my room clapping at the end like a lunatic.
you are off the hook amazing! Unbelievably beautiful music. And your playing , i have never seen anything like it....so cool. thanks for making my day.
Gorgeous and exquisite. Listening to this made me think both of lovely times past, and hopefully looking forward to precious and sacred times to come. I needed this. Thank you.
Your unique use of the instruments - your brilliance. Yasmin, we need your music to help break through the crazy. You gave me the first deep breath I've had today. Joy Beauty Love
Your music touches something in me that urgently needed to be touched. Carries me away and somehow I come back with a warm smile that I even can share with others. Thank you so much for the hope you give
This is so cool! It's been a long time since I saw anyone with a Kalimba, and seeing one incorporated into a one person band type thing is refreshing. Maurice White would be proud of you. Me too!
Wow! A standout composition! Masterful use of the instrument *without simply making it a novelty*! Engaging presence that draws the listener in! TOP SHELF!
Wow Yasmin that's beautiful. I love your creative use of the various instruments particularly the guitar. Great performance and lovely song. I used to play the piano percussively using my moms favorite wooden spoon. Boy would she get mad. And my dad would get cranky saying that I would detune the piano playing it that way. Hahahahaha! Keep it up, Cheers!
Absolutely awe inspiring in it's gentle and evocative lyricism. Just found your gift via the Guardian. A lucky day indeed. I'm imagining this genius on a 12 string. Miigwitch!
It did before I could even read what you wrote....and you wrote that? it was a treat to discover you. I love everything including the tap heartbeat with it all. Your very pleasant and refreshing and you are helping my spirit today. very happy after hearing you and your lovely artistry.
Honestly Yasmin, I must be the last person on earth to hear about you, but all I can say is WOW! I heard you for the first time on "Mountain Stage" a week ago and I am shall I say, amazed. As a life long musician, I really like traditional instruments played in an unconventional manner, and I have to say you rock it mighty fine! Good luck and safe travels as you traverse this great country of ours. Peace and love, and God bless, Christine Erickson
I just learned about you from a NYTs article (Guitar Hero, really?!) and I'm so glad I did! You are an extraordinary musician. Your work is so beautiful. Thank you!
I just discovered your music after the article in Premier Guitar magazine. I really appreciate the intricacy and multiple layers in the melodies you create. You are awesome! :-) You now have a fan forever in Cape Town, South Africa. :-)
Wow! Just saw your interview on PBS NewsHour yesterday. I'm a fan of and have attended concerts for Leo Kottke, Michael Hedges, and Ed Gerhard over the decades. I play fingerstyle guitar and am super impressed with your approach and inventiveness on guitar and other instruments simultaneously. Very beautiful music! Best of luck.
As always, watching you play is fascinating, but it is the music I love most. Your album is always in heavy rotation when I'm driving. Looking forward to adding more of your music to my collection.
Wow, my first listen to your music. Exquisite use of the percussive technique, and what a beautiful composition! And the kalimba is a brilliant addition as well. So glad to know about you. Look forward to hearing more!
