Hey hey hey!

Brilliant video!

You know, this instrument was invented in Toronto. In fact, the name Toronto comes from the sound it makes. Kinda "to ron to to ron to to ron to".

The Indians called it that before we exterminated them. Not many people know that. Actually it was the French and British who exterminated the Indians, but we got the Mounties to finish them off, just to keep things tidy.

It's surprising how little people know about Canadian history and great Canadians. General Wolfe, Celine Dion, Margaret Trudea, Buddy Scrotumyanker, Barack Obama - all the greats.
Did you know the wilderness and tall trees weren't always there? The whole country used to be covered in ice, but the early settlers took most of it for hockey rinks and for putting in drinks in Vancouver cocktail bars.
You know, there are more homosexuals per head of population in Vancouver than in any gay bar in New York? Fact!
Not lesbians mind you. Just proper homos.We don't like lesbians in Canada, unless they're in movies.
Talking of movies - have you seen the new Batman? What a movie! Brilliant! An incisive post 9/11 commentary if ever I saw one. That guy that played the homo cowboy in Brokeback Fountain, what's his name? Anyway, he was Batman. Fucking brilliant, and Danny de Vito was the Joker, altough I didn't think too much of him.

I enjoyed this video, for its introduction of an unusual (new?) instrument, and for the talent of its player. Nice sounds.

this instrument reminds me of the opening of SUPER MARIO WORLD 2, YOSHI'S ISLAND

I've played one of these things... it's WAY WAY harder than this talented person is making it look.

Wow and Wow.

chaz; not a new instument. I was told they are from Africa... but it was at a Drum circle and we all were kindda 'enlightened' and far from thinking clearly...anyway. They are still hard to play, wherever they are from.

This instrument was not invented in TORONTO, can't you guys just take credit for country and western music and moose calling and leave it at that. For the real story on this instrument google "The Kalimba: a brief and biased history of an ancient instrument" by Mark Holdaway PhD.
