Hania Rani - Buka (Live on KEXP)

[@msfire-]

I stumbled upon this on her website, 'BUKA The title of the song was inspired by Finnish writer - Tove Jansson’s tales about the Moomins. One of my favourite characters is the Groke, which in polish is Buka. She appears as a ghost-like, hill-shaped body with two cold staring eyes. Wherever she stands, the ground below her freezes and plants and grass die, anything that she touches will freeze. She seeks friendship and warmth, but she is declined by everyone and everything, leaving her in her cold cavern on top of the Lonely Mountains. The song is built from many piano layers, put on each other in a specific way, kept in a very energetic and dancing mood but with a cold touch of relentless rhythmic motives.' xx

One of the most beautiful pieces of music I have ever heard. Soul-touching perfection.

You haven't really got out much.

Buka is such a powerful masterpiece! We’re so lucky to have an artist like Hanna in our world. She’s a gem to humanity.

​@@janekdolder722 There are repetitive structures that is quite different from saying “music that repeats". I love her style as I love the repetitive patterns in Philip Glass' compositions.

[@rudolfrudiger3283]

I think nils frahm and hania should do some tracks together

[@patcollins5433]

Her joyful smile at the end got me. She knows exactly what she's just delivered.

[@semacomer]

And she will deliver more and better, believe me

[@josephjester4917]

If she's a good musician, and it's obvious she is, she's playing what moves her, as good musicians do. She's not playing for you or I; she's playing for herself. We're just blessed that what pleases her musically is pretty damn awesome to please us too.

[@jordanjobes4115]

This is pure magic. No idea how her fingers go that fast in rhythm

It just fricking did that to me. I'm a rocker, my twin sister introduced me to this, today. It was playing in the background on our phone call. I had her send it to me. I'm in love.

Me and my daughter saw Hania live a few weeks ago . Absolutely amazing. ❤️

After years of running a record label and dealing with a lot of music which I genuinely enjoy I finally found something again that truly moves my being and makes me feel alive and whole. Thank you Hani.

I love KEXP's relaxed atmosphere, but when you add Hania, the magic extends even further. INCREDIBLE

So glad I clicked on this today. Sublime.

I’m pierced by this master of the piano and the feelings. God bless Polland for creating you.

I love how YT sometimes finds just the right music for me. I was listening to some old Meredith Monk tunes off Dolmen Music, and this was next in my feed. ❤

It’s not often that I’m jealous but I wish I had a talent like that. Truly mesmerising.

Oh my God. Never heard of you till today. Holy shite. Amazing. A deep bow in your direction.

[@quarktasche4997]

Luka, Leaving, Spring, Don't Break My Heart or Hawaii Oslo are all great pieces - but the more I listen to her works, the more I'm sure, that this is undeniably her masterpiece

[@Туз-л6д]

So, she is also the composer of this masterpiece?

[@darrenford8929]

its darn good. i can only dream to be that good but she went to all best music schools in Poland i believe piano is her life.God bless her

I've never seen her use sheet music, never. Most of the time isn't even looking at the keyboard. And the look on her face. There is something different ❤about the way she perceives the music??

Buka means noise in Croatian so I wonder if there's a connection there. That being said, wonderful stuff as always! Also a big fan of hearing the sounds keyboards make when being played, adds that much character and warmth!

[@thatmckenzie]

It means "beech" in Polish. Beech trees are noisy!

[@unit7_PL]

It's most likely a reference to a character from The Moomins (Buka in Polish, The Groke in English)

[@dialelaki]

It means 'open' in Indonesian Language
