that's really nice. Is he actually drumming too?

Yeah, i think he's incredible.

There is no drumming, but the instrument he plays, a kalimba - or African thumb piano - is actually classified as a percussion instrument, whence the melodic-rhythmic sound.

this instrument, and the way he plays it, helps me to hear the essential, the rhythmic flow of "water." That... and I have been thinking a lot about water in Africa lately. mhhh water, cool, clear drinking water

thanks for the heads up on a Kalimba! I'm checking it out now, and all into some really great knowledge.
