I finished watching Terence Hill & Bud Spencer's "They Call Me Trinity" DVD a bit ago. It's a Christmasy tradition for me.

coelacanth:

Thanks Daniel- i knew that though...i'm wondering about the tongued instrument and the bowed instrument...i'm pretty sure at least the tongued part is a sample from a "field recording".

slawooy! Welcome onboard!!!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:52pm
coelacanth:

...maybe "tongue" is the wrong word! ...like an mbira, or a xylophone.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:53pm
Daniel Blumin:

It's from Senegal, coela. Much of the recording was done there... I'll take a closer looksee after the show!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:59pm
coelacanth:

i found it! a local musician,Boubacar Cissokho,played balafon and fulani violin... so maybe he played a traditional tune.
...sorry. i'm a geek.
