  • Hold up, hold up, was this a Krar take on Dave Brubeck Quartet's "Take 5"??? THAT IS THE MOST GENIUS REMAKE EVER! That worked so well!! i wish yall did it more of it. Props! This guy is genius on the krar period.

    Question tho: krars usually have pentatonic scale, and this krar sound like it has other notes (typical CDEFGAB notes in the west); am i right? Or is this a traditional 6-string krar?

  • @rtoriq this is a 6-string krar. krar players tune their instruments based on what scale they're playing in. there are a variety of ethiopian scales, some of which don't have western versions, like anchihoye (C Db F Gb A). here he is using a normal minor pentatonic scale but i think it is tune\d for the corresponding major, so maybe A C D E G A.
