I just heard this band on Saturday by Times Square and I bought their CD based on what I heard. It was well worth the money. This song along with Mushallah were my favorites. Too bad there's only one Baritone/Euphonium. They made a fan out of me.
I love your music so much!!! Honest to god, its so Real!!! Please come and tour the UK! THE YOUTH WANT MUSIC LIKE THIS! Tim Pulleyn I gave you my buisness card in NYC in January lol! Silver turmpet, red bell!!!
These brothers make me so proud everytime i hear them yo.....they do their part. Been late to skool n work may a times on some Hypnotic. ONE LOVE. UHURU
That song is so powerful... I love that song. Really enjoyed watching you in London at the Mos Def concert...that was a proper warm up. Yas from France peace peace peace.
Read the most recent New Yorker article. These gentlemen have deep roots in a long legacy. Their daddy was a major musician. And they have been serious students from their childhood. Much like the Bach siblings. The fact that one can immediately FEEL the music as opposed to immediately THINK about the music does not make it inferior music. Nor does it mean that rigorous theory is not behind it.
It's not actually either, it is the same tone as a euphonium but it's played at 90 degrees. I forget the name of it but it's very similar to a euphonium sound :)
The one guy is playing a sousaphone. to be perfectly honest the only real difference between a sousaphone a nd a tuba is the shape, but we like it when people get it right ^_^
Why do you feel the need to reply to my comment making a statement so obvious as 'rigorous theory is behind their music '? Nobody is saying there isn't. I was implying in a completely non-racist way that if they were white they would not be so popular or interesting. Only reply to my comments with relevant subject matter, not a load of patronising random trivia.
