MAGICAL IMBIRA PLAYED BY RICHARD CRANDELL

[@auralarchipelago]

Richard inspired me to pick up mbira (well, kalimba, but then other lamellophones) when I first heard his album as a teenager 20 years ago. Truly changed my life, and the subtlety of his simple songwriting is something I'll never hope to match. RIP Richard

I heard of Richard's passing today, and it saddened me greatly. I had the pleasure of meeting him over a decade ago through mutual music connections. I visitied him as a stranger at his humble home in Eugene back then, talking music and his vision for a new instrument, with which he wanted my input bringing into existence. He made me lunch and we sat around his table. Afterwards he was off to a swim session. Over the years we kept in touch every now and then; we never did end up making that new instrument together. Such a kind and talented man. I'll miss having him in this world.

[@auralarchipelago]

What instrument did he want to make? What a great story, thanks for sharing.

[@Milos_Petrovic]

Beautiful instrument, and great story.

I wonder how many people quit watching and missed the fascinating loop portion; I’m glad I stayed!! 🫵🫵🫵😇🫵🫵🫵

He took our traditional Mbira,he master put and put it on another level that's lit

[@iandykes6638]

Rest in power my friend

[@Turtlegarden1]

This was truly lovely. I have an imbira but I have never been taught how to play it. If anyone knows of a teacher in Vancouver, Canada could you please leave me a message here. Thank-you so much. Also, if anyone hears of Richard Crandell playing here, please post it.

[@AMPCM]

It is like the music of the Penguin Cafe Orchestra. It's wonderful.

[@c11e23m]

This man is amazing, heard him on the radio today... WOW

[@GustavoLazaro]

beautiful!

[@linhatrincada]

Caramba !!!! Que prazer encontrar você aqui. Abraço

[@eaglevisiongameplays9207]

Eai chará

[@maxnobre]

Que rolê aleatório 😂

[@kellyg1051]

He starts playing at 3:08.

[@OfNothingEverything]

Was going to post the same thing, thanks

[@PANTA-Music]

This is very informative. Don't understand why people are so eager to skip stuff. The guy proper introduces himself and explains a bit about the instrument and himself. What you try to do is preventing people from seeing a signature on a piece of artwork. You take away the credits of someone. Stop trying to live life on fast forward, and inform yourself for once...

[@richjones7313]

maybe i wanna hear the spiel, lady. ever think about that?

Incredible instrument by Richard Crandell on an instrument from Zimbabwe he turned to it because he had essential tremor and had to give up guitar. So he turned to the imbira and piano. He was the best boyfriend I ever had. Should have married him. Died a year ago from the relentless disease.

[@maakeklein4073]

I play calypso on mine. Beautiful. Ah play steel pan too so ah just convert from pan to mbira. Works nice.even do some Marley. Go easy.

[@lillipuziana74]

wow awesome

[@freighttrainhighway]

Incredible work Bro !!

[@julieberkowitz2750]

He got so thin we were together in the 70s. He looked like Robert Redford. I was lucky enough to catch him.

[@Vohasiiv]

*Thanks for correct spelling... spells wrong in title...*

[@julieberkowitz2750]

He switched to the marimba and piano cause of essential tremor. A musician through and through

[@DanSwanson2070]

Mbira...

[@BeyondTheMind007]

What tuning is this imbira in? and can I tune my kalimba to this

[@housemusiccatalog2279]

I thought I heard this instrument on a Hugh Tracy recording in some other part of Africa other than Zimbabwe. African's are right up my alley. Their stuff would be futuristic jazz if they didn't have traditional timing. Man, I'm glad they did all those traditional African music recordings

[@vannakh7056]

wav good

[@KholilMuhammadKalimba]

I m from Indonesian

[@georggeiersdorf1077]

Originally!

[@Marcus538]

A kalimba like mine, £20 from africa mic'd up? Better than a guitar

[@MyBrothersMario]

$28?! Really cool instrument, but that should have been at most $5 to make.

[@Rumaw]

In Zimbabwe a mbira set costs no less than $25

[@gmavoice1893]

Yes is good

[@richieshen1916]

too much talking, ridiculous. the title should say "interview with..."

[@stephengaudun5930]

Hello Richard: It has been quite awhile ago that we met and I made this video. Hope that it helped to make you famous and rich.

[@thirzaphilpott9815]

Stephen, well done making this video and interview. And posting on your You Tube channel so we can all hear this beautiful music Richard Crandell made for evermore, even after his passing, perhaps into the world of angels. 🤗🥰

[@stephengaudun5930]

Truly, it was my pleasure.
