"hahah 2:40 - 2:50 is an awkward ten seconds lol" Huh? As she's finishing up her solo she glances up and makes eye contact -- so he knows she's done -- then she plays a tasty little descending riff leading back into the main rhythm, he says "Yeah!" to acknowledge her solo, then she lands on the main rhythm and he restates the main melodic theme. Seen/done that exchange a million times. Can't imagine what YOU saw.
a real master!!! i hv attended his preformance last night in hongkong.. wwow.. wonderful!! he can play all kind of music, and i can feel his love to music and harmonica. so dynamic, creative, willing to share, smart, kind.. talented of cuz. although i know nothing about harmonica, but deadly admire his passion on creating his own music and instrument.
Like a spice rack for the ears! So earthy and sensuous, really transcendent & etherial. The percusion was just the right touch to carry the melody line along. The way the two played off each other's cues was sensational! Thank you for the great post! ~Jon
@joce3515 It is called a bodhran. The player presses their hand up against the inside of the drum head (typically made of goat skin) to change the pitch. Various shapes of the hands will evoke different changes in pitch. Lucy Randall is a true pro at doing this. I should know, I've been trying to do what she does for years now...
Really awsome, great to hear different sounds, plus I like how it has a little ambient feel to it. And like nchune said, that's a really tasty drumsolo.
Close your eyes, and it seems like Lucy is surrounded by a complicated set of drums. Open your eyes and marvel that its just a single 12" bodhran and a puny little stick. She's like a wizard.
Hi, the drum is called Tupan its Bulgarian, the whole song is in traditional Bulgarian rhythm not Irish. The Tupan is wrilly close to Bodhran, and we also have pipes as the Irish, but the way we use our so similar instruments is amazingly different. I think Brendan Power captured that in astonishing way in this song : )
I like Lucy's relaxed style with her tipper hand. She clearly shows that bodhran players don't need to be giving themselves Carpal Tunnel Syndrome with wild wrist gyrations.
Awesome awesome awesome, and is it my imagination, or has Joni Mitchell time traveled from circa-1969 to perform with this guy. I always suspected she'd mastered space, time and dimension.
The drums on this are next level.
Totally.
This is Bulgarian national music! Wonderful played! Greetings from Bulgaria!
Master musicians with a masterful arrangement.
I love him. He came to my university today, and everyone was BLOWN away by him.
ok, i am addicted to this tune now!!! beautiful duet!!! nice solo! thank you for posting
Great music, and the drumming is incredibly melodic! Can't compliment Lucy and Brendan enough for their sublime artistry.
He just made the harmonica my favorite instrument.
Who knew that it could sound so beautiful.
Quite breathtaking. I couldn't stop watching.
Awsome, Lucy! One of my favourites...Thanks so much.

Fantastic :D its great to hear such great performance of our national rhythms ! Many congrats from Bulgaria : )
I..I know I'm blown away by the talent and interplay, but i'm having real trouble deciding who to be more impressed by....they are both gifted.
Arabic harmonica. Now I've officially heard everything.
Great playing here as usual Lucy :-)-
I so like your relaxed style...
Brendan is amazing also...

I would sure like to see what is going on the other side of that drum.
Awesome, Both of you!!!
А бе, много хубаво ! Да сте живи и здрави !
I thought I could play the harmonica, now I realise I’m just a beginner. This is bloody amazing
Insanely amazing and masterful.....deeeeep bows from India...
Great song. Both instruments sound good, none is above the other.
Fan-freakin-tastic! Amazing, wonderful, awesome, mind-blowing....
totally sweet and soulful with a nice energy
Sounds like Bulgarian folk music - probably what the title refers to. Cant believe my tiny country influenced you guys :P really great playing
Woah. I didn't know harmonicas could do that. I am VERY impressed. I also think that this is the neatest thing I've run into today.
Incredible! So good!
Really awsome, great to hear different sounds, plus I like how it has a little ambient feel to it. And like nchune said, that's a really tasty drumsolo.
This is amazing!!!!!!
Better and more exciting than the original thing, it is amazing how both of you were able to catch even the smallest details
Cool! I like the drum. Never seen one like that before!
that was great!!!!!!!!!!!
fantastic!
Awesome, you play it very natural and replace interestingly usual violins. I think you're a fantastic player and adventurer.
wasn't really expecting him to play that on a harmonica.... awesome!!!
Spellbinding. I didn't know a harmonica could sound as beautiful as that.
hahahahaha good childhood memories :P i love all these videos from rpoland
WOW, amazing music.
Close your eyes, and it seems like Lucy is surrounded by a complicated set of drums. Open your eyes and marvel that its just a single 12" bodhran and a puny little stick. She's like a wizard.
It is 7/8 in three variations. I got email from Brendan himself. He clarified for me completely. Thanks Brendan.
loved it!!
Playing music like this with a woman must be the next most intimate thing to making love. Absolutely amazing.
just amazing
Awsome, love it.
This just made my day!
:-)
Wonderful!!!!
yay! soooo flawless!
It sure is... Lucy is and has been in my top 5 players list for some years now...
Yeah man! what a duo. very nice timbre!

He's probably playing a Suzuki SCX Chromatix, search Suzuki harmonicas on youtube you get a load of videos of him playing them...
Freaking awesome!
unreal, the two of them.
Very Good This is Very nice

great stuff ,,
YEAH!! AMAZING!!!
amazing ！greeting from China
Thats like the first time I ever heard an epic harmonica. Holy shit 0_0 10/10
I like Lucy's relaxed style with her tipper hand. She clearly shows that bodhran players don't need to be giving themselves Carpal Tunnel Syndrome with wild wrist gyrations.
Beauftiful!
3º!! amazing musician
Great sound, I'll have to research some time how to play a bodhrán like that..
From Bulgaria, too! :)
this is great! seems like a 7/8 rhythm am i right?
GREAT!!! JUST GREAT!!!
Impresionante técnica Brendan!.
Bodhram and Armonica teamed sooooo good!
Wich armonica is he playin'? could anyone tell us?
Awesome awesome awesome, and is it my imagination, or has Joni Mitchell time traveled from circa-1969 to perform with this guy. I always suspected she'd mastered space, time and dimension.
oh wow
almost bulgarian :)))))) hehe,God bless you!
awesome
awesome i like that harmonica style haha
i would give my big toe to study with Mr. Power!
this music is so great! I can pictures myself being the camel!
love it....im guessing there some sort of diaphram in the back of that drum to change the depth of the sound.
I love Brendan's Rainman impression starting at 2:18
That would be a Bodhrán used a lot in Irish Folk. and I agree. very cool stuff guys.
2-2-3 & 3-2-2 mix!
good hearing you got there mister
I thank Christian Hedwitschak (bodhran maker) for pointing out this video.
A great performance.
