"Malika" by Rufus Harley

[Boclfog]

As a bagpiper myself I really can't judge Mr. Harley's skill as a bagpiper. What he is doing is completely different than I've ever heard. His blowing isn't very steady, but I think it fits with his style of play.

Attending a Scottish themed funk party is on my bucket list after hearing this track. I tip my hat to your originality Rufus Harley.

This guy has much more value than we 'serious' pipers usually care to admit... Nice thing in the pic [likely taken in NYC in 2001/2, in the aftermath of 9/11] is Scottish Power PB's piping greats [L-R] PM Roddy MacLeod, Peter Hunt and Stuart McCallum falling in with the Philly legend. Wonder whether someone recorded THAT...

I heart Jazzpipin'

[vajrapiper]

more pipers should do more drugs.

@vajrapiper : Well, honestly, not only is this some fine music to listen to sober, but we might as well admit and accept in our hearts that it's great music to get high to. Trippy aint the word.

Yes! The Famous bag pipe jazz player Rufus Harley! R.I.P.

A psychedelic bag pipe player and black too, amazing, I thought I'd seen it all. He was self taught too, although he could play the sax and flute. He made some good records and one with the excellent Herbie Mann

So badass.. Just too cool.

[buckbumble]

why are people pushing the boat out like this now with music. I liked it almost as I read the description lol.

[NYPDPipeMajor]

Kinda cool, but way out of tune.

[fatchants]

This is one of my favorite songs in the whole world. Mad props for posting this. That photo is just awesome.

[decti]

i have been to scotland a few times, and i have to say i have never heard bag pipes sound so good (or good at all for that matter) before.

[dominian42]

You were obviously listening in all the wrong places if you've never heard better playing than this.

[wwwdotluke]

i feel the need to comment on rufus' hat and outfit, its cool as hell. not only is he showing these jocks how play, but how to dress too!

@wwwdotluke you, my good sir, are a fool, an one with bad taste at that!
