[harish1948]

No I do not know about this other piece. The main one was "Baby Elephants Walk".

I think that the German actors name was Jody Scheckter???

[harishluther]

Yes i think it is called "Baby Elephants Walk". The movies main actor was John Wayne and there was also a German actor - don't remember his name.

[robertoeleei]

great music. There was also a african drum music when Hatari movie i can remember the name- but its goes like somebody was playing the drums with the finger over a wooden table. its sound like this parapapapa ,aprapapapa. tuntun tuntun tu and you could hear the elephants yieling(like fighting)... someone remember the name of that music.?.. parress

[harishluther]

@robertoeleei

Yes i think it is called "Baby Elephants Walk". The movies main actor was John Wayne

[robertoeleei]

@harishluther thank you . but there is another version something like "elephant passing thru or elefhant passage. thank you again.

[piggypostage]

thanks for the music, i've saved it into a yoga playlist for my students. :)

[dilynn952]

Drums/percussion sounds like electronic keyboard to me along with the "orchestra". Not a fan of "fake" instrumentation. Would be so much better with the real instruments.

[ljdespain]

@dilynn952 i couldn't agree more. and yes, this was an experimental piece that i used MIDI to create a few years ago :) ill have an orchestra and a great group of percussionist to play this live in an upcoming Broadway play this summer. Email me if your interested in hearing more!

[dilynn952]

@ljdespain I sing in a choir formed thru social networking.We've all sung thru the years (school to church) but missed the powerful role music played in our lives.We reconnected with old (&new)friends,formed a new choir & will host a clinic/perform @ WA State Music Educators Assn conference in Feb.We will sing Mother Africa & the Percussion Ensemble from WA State U (Brent Edwards, instructor/ composer) will accompany us.I enjoy rehearsing/memorizing to yours :=) Yes, I'd love more.

[dilynn952]

@ljdespain BTW if you ever need any percussion written, contact Brent Edwards @ WSU. You can see/hear some of his stuff on YouTube. He's amazing. Check out

2011 WSUIndoor - "Sakura"

[bradleyxwoah]

[KMNJC5]

This song is powerful, so uplifting, my brain feels so creative as I listen to it, what will I create with this? I think a spiritual dance for JESUS - dance like I will in heaven when the instruments will be in the thousands, voices and sounds like nothing on this earth. Oh happy day it will be. I thank God for giving you this gift of music. Please write more! I will listen! Thank you, Heavenly Father, for this blessing of music on earth. Someday with you in eternity!!!!

[yuandiPU]

GOOD JOB BROO i like this

[Heylilvelvet]

I love African people and I love africa!

[wolf869]

Really great music ^_^

[Deathnotechick999]

Absolutely outstanding composition! Have you had this put on iTunes? I absolutely adore it!

[JayT194]

@MrTheSkyWalker lolol

[Deviin420]

nice dude

[Visiusdreamer]

You should sell it to EA, they could use it as a Sims loading tune :P

[ShikeoFujiwara]

really beautiful!

[danbergam]

It's great how you build the growing intensity!

The blend of symphonic and ethnic instruments came out quite effectively: each part just gives its best and the blend between the sweet melodic/harmonic thems and the driving force of the percussions is simply smile-giving!

The whole thing definitely sounds like an effective and very appropriate soundtrack for an imaginary cinematic experience (not necessary a movie only: even a documentary'd be graced by this)!

Keep it up! (Thumb-up+fav.)

[MrHumbleWill]

check out my page for a nice hip hop African beat in my African accent lol :)

[MissZenho14]

Absolutely beautiful.

[TheYorubagal]

i love this! Can I download pleeeaase?

[maztakeef420]

wow, this is some Hans Zimmer type shit. beautiful. what did you use to produce this?

Also, I hope you wouldn't mind me sampling and remixing this... Because I'm going to do it whether you mind or not.. No profit of course, and I won't upload it unless you gimme the ok.

[ljdespain]

@maztakeef420 haha well thanks man, that means alot to be compared to Hans. but yea i used some ghetto composing software called musicmasterworks, so this was note by note and took quite a while. and yea go ahead! just give me some credit links ;)

[maztakeef420]

@ljdespain well shit man, from my perspective, that's a quite the natural you have if you can make something of this level on some "getto composing software". You ever taken music seriously?

[ljdespain]

@maztakeef420 yea im thinking about doing something with it in the future. a theater company by the name of 'featherloop' contacted me and asked to use this song for their show this summer, so i'll travel with them a little this year, it should be pretty fun. but yea i checked out your channel your stuff is pretty sweet too, i'm excited to hear your remix!

[maztakeef420]

@ljdespain Yeah I'm screwing around with ideas for it now.. thing is, I want to capture the emotion of the song, but in a completely different way, so I'm using my ear to manually transpose notes into new instruments, incorporating samples along the way. I'll message you when it's finished and of course you'll be gettin your credit lol.

[maztakeef420]

wow, this is some Hans Zimmer type shit. beautiful. what did you use to produce this?

[coasterdude1216]

This piece is incredible! So fun! I love composition. and I love the fact that you used the word pulchritudinous.

[008cheer]

I would love a copy of this

[godislovewoo]

i want the picture! where can i find a wallpaper??

[milk78910]

i like the beat nice job jjjjkkkkk

[carlfunnycat]

OMG This piece is brilliant!! 

[JoseOlascoagaOrtega]

Wow! Beautiful. Africa is part from Latin America, too. I'm latin and I feel proud about that. Thnak you Africa.

Wow! Hermoso. África también es parte de América Latina. Soy latino y me siento orgulloso de eso. Gracias, África.

[LinaStar88]

Beautiful

[cmcespedes2]

First I had to go and find the definition of pul·chri·tu·di·nous ADJECTIVE: Characterized by or having great physical beauty and appeal. Second, I don't dislike the piece but I was a little disapointed by the title and the arrangement of the music. Third, I love the picture (photograph) would like to know where to get it.

[mrnoooz]

Wow no dislikes. i rly like this

[rastaman764]
