I am mind blown. I am South African and I recently started listening to jazz after I discovered snarky puppy on NPR tiny desk . The tribal part is so relatable to that of my sepedi traditional music . The Bapedis are a South African tribal group and have a traditional dance that the men perform at celebrations e.g weddings. That tribal drum brings back so many great memories I had as a child . Thank you snarky puppy .
Being a Moroccan myself, I hear the best improvised “ Moroccan Chaabi “ rhythm from 3:45. This would kill as live gig in Morocco. Would love to see them live. Greeting from Oslo Norway. Omar.
I don't care what anyone says, snarky puppy is breaking new grounds. Seems like some people don't like change. When you're a musician you have to be open to new sounds. I really dig this track
This is pure magic, pure genius. I've listen to this song 15 times in a row, i can't stop, the harmonies, the rythm, the cuts, the solos, everything is perfect. WTF GUYS
What feels bad is that these rhymes are inherited in Morocco where I come from. Basically everyone can understand and play the polyrhythm. I actually understand every bit of this song because it surrounds me. And those guys understood and tranformed it during their visit to Morocco. Respect to snarky puppy
As a percussionist/drummer myself, I have to ask you guys... How do you record THREE different drummers/drum tracks and make it sound like only one?!? With the difficulty some bands have getting just even ONE good drum track... Mind. Blown.
Disclaimer, I'm no drummer. But I think they craft the part together and then record it in studio and it becomes a drum circle/relay/musical chair thing. Because from section to section the drums sound... different? But like slightly. Like the first drummer sounds like Larnell Lewis. Tight. Precise. Reminds me of his work on WLIH from 0:00 to 0:46 The 2nd sounds big and wide. And that kick is just huge and gut-punching. I think it's Jamison Ross? 0:46 to 1:29 The 3rd has this deep, tight, dark but syrupy (...?) snare, but the way its attacked reminds me of Jason JT Thomas' work on the Forq albums, so I think it's him 1:30 to 1:50 Not entirely sure. But the drums do sound different every now and then. Like checkpoints. But it's so well crafted and executed.
This is flipping awesome - it has a tonne of 70s - 00s influences (but is still uniquely Snarky) - including Lalo Schiffrin, Weather Report, Herbie Hancock even flipping Jamiroquai just thrown in there. As a percussionist I love the last section. More of this please!!
Musical genius. A departure from the ever engaging, fusiony, jazzy, rocky, funky, percussive masterpieces into a really moving stand alone piece of beauty. I listened to it three times on the trot and loved it more every time. Thank you for your ongoing contribution to my ears and everyone else's too. Can't wait to see you in Melbourne on April 26th!
Renz Maiko Zervoulakos go to music school and you'll be in class with 700 theory heads who play shit like this...less is more and this shit is full of gimmicky overcomplexity....I'm sorry but I just can't get into it! I know ur not allowed to say they suck but this sounds like a higher quality lethal weapon soundtrack...thumbs down, someone has to say it! The bottom line of music is how it sounds...this is advanced musicianship for advanced musicianships sake...feels like homework, not vibey! Certainly not as original as everyone gives them credit for...it's a path well travelled and if it's new to you that's because no one bought the other three million albums that sound like this and it faded into obscurity until these hipsters drug it back out, inappropriately, in the age of a truly new, unexplored digital music frontier!
As a drummer/percussionist I'm always interested in rhythms from other cultures. So I was wondering what it is about the rhythm at 5:46 that makes it Moroccan. Just the placement of the beats/accents? Nevertheless, I love it.
I really like Newen Afrobeat and this snarky track, the last half of this track is an immense earworm I get constant cravings for that flutey part, amazing
oh how i love the fresh ideas that had been poured from 1:29 . Man my senses are tingling for your new exploration in sounds, i hear so many unique sounds in this song
The visit of Essaouia, Morocco and its influence is present all over the song! Perfect appropriation of Moroccan instruments also!! I was amazed that all the Moroccan instruments stated in the description were played by non Moroccans!!! Great stuff!!!
came here from one of the airpod review youtube video where the dude was testing the quality based on this song and I am glad I did.. such a splendid music.. so intricate and so well mixed, no words.. I think I got my new favorite group to obsess over
So wide and rich the soundss!! is very universal like from a lot of places and cultures. I love it! Cool and fresh like always. Excited to listen the complete album. I'm catalan and its funny see this name of song!! Thanks for caress my ears again!!!!!
Do you recall music themes from the 'Columbo' tv series (honestly, some of them remind me King Crimson music). It was my first association after I read your comment.
@@jdescoteau Okay. Cool. I'm familiar with those tunes but I guess I associate that horn part with the song "Whitecap". Actually, it happens at the 1:17 mark in the youtube video.
Awesome stuff, feels like coming home. Can't wait for the record. Longing for more european tour dates. Snarky Puppy - one of my favorites :D And please please please can somebody list in the description, which musicians are playing on this song?
Just last week I stopped by my old high school band director's house to give him some copies of Culcha Vulcha, Sylva, and We Love It Here. When I finished rambling on about my new favorite band, he asked if they were still together and still releasing new material. It was a valid question considering he doesn't know much about them and their last release came out in 2016. My answer was, "They better be!!" I opened my email inbox today and what do I see? New Snarky Puppy album dropping March 15th!!! Yes!! So did they record "Immigrance" like they recorded "Culcha Vulcha"? In the studio with no audience? It sounds like it. So far it sounds like Culcha Vulcha's cousin, which is cool.
wahya wa ahayih hda ha ahayih hda wahya wa . at the end you got some Morrocan signature . Thanks to you snarky puppy you know how to get inspired. And how to speak an other language/cultur with your way :) without changing the main message.
Look at that lineup. They brought the house and well worth it. Sounds amazing. Could do with you lads spending a few days in Toronto this summer. Fall's nice, too.
