Hi there Charles , greetings from Costa Rica . I just wanted to ask what's that pedal board that you use to record loops like the percussion intro and then the thing with the piece of paper , is it really that easy to record a sample of anything and make a loop out of it ? Does the pedal comes with its own mic ? I'm no musician whatsoever so please forgive if this sounds like noob questions .

I've heard some great covers of Africa from various instrumentalists (Andy McKee comes to mind), but OH MAN! This one feels so lyrical and powerful. The visceral rhythm, the voluptuous harmonies, the crazy arpeggios all cumulatively raise the energy of this piece to such a high level. Hard to sit still for this! Had to put on some great headphones to really soak it in... over and over and over! Thank you Charles!
