that african harp thing sounded so european.wow. what was that thing being played at 7:38? is it irish?lol

[malila85]

That "african harp" is called a Kora, This is a very traditional instument so, i don't see how it sounds european?

African music is very diverse, espacially malian music.

[southbobby]

i was drunk while listening. disreguard my comment.lol :)

[subterranean47]

7:38 is Irish music

[southbobby]

i knew it.

i need money, sell life and all.

[defonze]

two gentlemen and two music legends , well paddy and liam

[meaninglessmovies]

can anyone tell me what the instrument being played at 5:33 is called? I have 2 of them in my home and I never knew what they were called!

[o0micmac0o]

it's the kora (AKA african harp) - I saw the guy (Toumani Diabate) play it live - just sublime, especially when just paired down to mainly acoustic insrtuments. Have a listen to the album he did with Mali blues guitarist Ali Farka Toure - 'In The Heart of the MOon' - sublime stuff.

I think Liam is more handsome, always thought that ever since I first saw Hothouse Flowers in 88, phwoarrrr. Liam and Paddy are pretty special aren't they? x

[joycerforever]

i saw these last night in temple bar and they are just amazing.my dad stores the hot house flowers equipment.

[desertdrummers]

Great

[happyasafool]

back to our roots!! and no better man to guide us,

go on Paddy! living legend!!

[9ways2win]

DIABATE` THE GREAT ONE.

[9ways2win]

Mali is the most unreal of musically landscapes,

the home of music is Africa of course,but

it is also the home of blues.

[o0micmac0o]

Great stuff! - I saw an attempt at collaboration organised by Damon Albarn (Blur/Gorillaz) in Liverpool recently & it was useless - missing everything that this sort of collaboration seems to have in buckets - i.e. using musicians who are sociable & know their own musical culture well & having real warmth & heart, a respect for & connection with the culture you're performing with & learning from & a melding of acoustic instruments that complement each other.

Where can we see the film?

[electrolinks]

The film is not on general release yet, but has been screened in Dublin and Belfast. There is a screening possibly planned in the new Lighthouse cinema in Dublin soon... Thanks for the comment!
