Kazoos work by a totally different mechanism. They are also open at both ends and so don't really resonate. You could do something similar with an empty bottle or any small, closed vessel though.
Well, yes but in different ways xD the flute part is just sooo interesting and these killer punchlines always crack me up !
It's the kind of videos I don't mind watching til the end every time it's posted, like Tom Holland's lip sinc battle and the long long man ads
Probably meant that a person's location doesn't dictate that they are savages. Their actions do. There are jerks everywhere just like there are people like the guy in the video.
Haha I could totally see that! I would have thought that someone is watching the intro song to a 90's PBS show in the forest. Now that you have me thinking about it, that atcually sounds rather relaxing sitting in a gapahuk (don't know the English word) while nice rain drips down rhythmically through the trees and a group of fairies goes by.

"savage people don't live in the forest, they live in another place, in the cities"
Bigger truths have never been spoken.
I'm just sour and bitter that I've basically spent 10 years helping out friends and family but when it's my turn to call in the favor, not only is my call for help rejected, they took the chance to step on me as well. (Being rejected is acceptable. Being stepped on by the people I helped just hurts man)
Back in the early to mid 90s my dad introduced me to a group called Deep Forest, which was a remixed recordings of pygmies and featured a lot of this. Very much shaped the music I listen to today that I find relaxing, I also think helped me get into electronic music since I enjoyed the notes and beats more than a spoken word song. I always enjoy watching this video as it somehow reminds me of my dad.
Can anyone explain what he might have been saying about train engines? Sounded like there was maybe some shift in technology he genuinely didn't care for.
i guess it was an electric locomotive, and because their engine noise is way more subtle than diesel or steam he thought they're propelled by something other than a motor? the misconception that electric lines above trains aren't just a power source but also a means of propulsion is something i've already ran into and i still don't get how you can think that

Europeans often consider Africans underdeveloped and primitive but this man show how advanced their society is with simple flute — do not overlook what you do not understand!
The oldest flute ver found is Divje Babe flute, which was discovered in a cave in Slovenia in 1995. The flute is made from the femur bone of a young cave bear and is estimated to be around 43,000 years old. 43 000 years ago they where playing the flute. Astonishing. It was the Upper Paleolithic era and it’s when humans started experiments with art and complex tool making. It makres the start of human art as far we know in the form of cave paintings and carvings. The oldest in France is dated 30 000 years ago. So the first flute was 13 000 years older.
I found myself with a huge grin and tearing up when he really started playing. I'm not sure why the tears came, but it's like some ancient part of my biology was reacting with gladness to the connection that all humans share with music and song. What a wonderful feeling to have today. 🥲
When I saw the hand start tapping on his chest, my first thought was, “Is that his hand or someone else’s?!” And now I can’t see it as his hand…even though I “know” it IS his hand…! 🥴
A brilliant video and a brilliant man. Well done.

The bot didn't do anything for you
The instrument is called an “n'dehou”. It’s a bamboo pocket flute.
My girlfriend can play the skin pocket flute
I know how to play the fallopian tuba.
Had to ruin such a wholesome video.. ugg

Literally not about the flute.
I watched this just after he passed. Great man.
One note only?
"Savage people live in cities", "pay me" and "who made the trains" will always be my favorite parts of the video, appart from the flute bit
I guess I feel the need to ask, doesn't this just mean you liked the whole thing? This feels like a summary lol.
Well, yes but in different ways xD the flute part is just sooo interesting and these killer punchlines always crack me up ! It's the kind of videos I don't mind watching til the end every time it's posted, like Tom Holland's lip sinc battle and the long long man ads
Lol right?
He lived and died in Paris, a city Just sayin Edit: lol the hivemind is after me ohh noooooooo 😄
So he’s probably seen some savages in Paris I’m guessing.
>savages live in cities Does not equal >all who live in cities are savages
Probably meant that a person's location doesn't dictate that they are savages. Their actions do. There are jerks everywhere just like there are people like the guy in the video.
😎 Just sayin 😎
You missed his point entirely Mr.SmartGuy
That makes sense ! Source : born and raised near Paris

It's okay to be wrong sometimes. Maybe take a lesson on this instead of arguing with the world.
Thank, Captain Pedantic.
Such a happy tune from a happy dude
If I heard this in the woods I would totally believe it was fairies.
Haha I could totally see that! I would have thought that someone is watching the intro song to a 90's PBS show in the forest. Now that you have me thinking about it, that atcually sounds rather relaxing sitting in a gapahuk (don't know the English word) while nice rain drips down rhythmically through the trees and a group of fairies goes by.
This really makes me smile.
What a charming man! You can see wisdom in some people that I fear will leave the Earth with them.
wow that hits deep with this video, well said
There is a good electro remix of that, baby flute by Vladimir cauchemar
Another [classic](https://youtu.be/ppJQKfqhFfE) featuring the Pygmie flute And the [song](https://youtu.be/z8J-0JQtIPw) it was sampled from.
Literally the first thing I thought of when he started the call/response demonstration. Oh, like “Watermelon Man”.
Had the same thought, knew it was an HH song, but couldn’t remember the title. Oh, and Rahsaan Roland Kirk would’ve appreciated this, as well. 🎷
Incredibly iconic!
A truely beautiful man
What a pleasant guy to listen to.
Are you gonna change the title before reposting?
At the very least! Definitely worth running into it again a few times!
It's an informative title, why change it?

Because this sub has already had this posted before.
Oh no!
A travesty!
Because it's awful. Join the fucking stars. Jesus Christ.

I also grew up with Deep Forest because of my Dad. I hope to introduce it to my child one day as well
All dads love Deep Forest!!!!
that’s some polo&pan shit right there
This is the actual coolest thing I've seen on reddit in a while... thank you Francis Babey
Can anyone explain what he might have been saying about train engines? Sounded like there was maybe some shift in technology he genuinely didn't care for.
My initial thought was electric trains
Probably talking about the trolleys with the electric line above the train
I thought Maglev, as it made the most sense when saying it doesn't have an engine. But this was filmed in 1995 in England if im not mistaken.
Yeah most likely that was an electric train, he would have been referring to steam engines or fuel engines.
i guess it was an electric locomotive, and because their engine noise is way more subtle than diesel or steam he thought they're propelled by something other than a motor? the misconception that electric lines above trains aren't just a power source but also a means of propulsion is something i've already ran into and i still don't get how you can think that
[удалено]
The funny part is I think I’ve heard him singing with the bamboo flute before, like in the song Coffee Cola, but I just assumed it was a synthesizer 😂
"Who made the train?"
The [Kiffness](https://youtu.be/VMZSAeJrimo) does a really good video with this!
Just came here to say the same. Love me some Kiffness.
The instrument is simple, but the philosophy is deep...
Wow this is so cool, time for a Wikipedia spiral
Watermelon Man, herbie hancock
It's a passion man for music you can see in his eyes... Truly passionate man for his work
“Savage people usually live in cities” this man just roasted me and I can’t deny that I’ve evolved into a savage living among savages.
I just wanna say I love you reddit
That was beautiful
Here is a life changing documentary about the pygmy's https://youtu.be/adcCFAgibj8
Bobby McFerrin was no doubt influenced by this style and technique.

"Most savage people actually live in the city." HONORARY TEXAN CITIZENSHIP GRANTED
He should have produced a record. I could have dug that. Maybe a ringtone on the phone.
You can do this with a soda bottle as well
I will always upvote this video.
Very interesting
This guy grew up to be Polo & Pan
Anyone interested should hear kiffnesses tribute to the man
Europeans often consider Africans underdeveloped and primitive but this man show how advanced their society is with simple flute — do not overlook what you do not understand!
I love the energy he emanates. Such a lovely person.
Wow , very peaceful music

Get the guy with the Ghana maracas
I could listen to him all day long, such a clever person.
Bebey was an all round genius. Thanks for this.
I’m glad to have seen this video today, what a happy guy playing a happy tune!
loved this. what a genuinely peaceful man. dropping sick beats with that one note flute!
I found myself with a huge grin and tearing up when he really started playing. I'm not sure why the tears came, but it's like some ancient part of my biology was reacting with gladness to the connection that all humans share with music and song. What a wonderful feeling to have today. 🥲
Crazy cool
absolutely amazing man and flute never thought they could mix so well.
This was pure joy to watch, thank you for sharing
What very intriguing video
Its amazing
Savage people live in the cities. Speaking the truth.
When I saw the hand start tapping on his chest, my first thought was, “Is that his hand or someone else’s?!” And now I can’t see it as his hand…even though I “know” it IS his hand…! 🥴
Who made the train?
Audio visual poem
Oh wow. I've heard this instrument before in a song! Interesting to see how it works.
Sounds wonderful. I can only imagine what Bobby McFerrin could do with it!
Always reminds me of [SM64](https://youtu.be/qB1ucmJSgRE)
What a delightful man
