About this composition:
Since the beginning of time, tribal peoples have come together to pray for a common good. This is a story about a tribe in West Africa praying for rain, told in three parts. I was intrigued by one particular ritual I read about called "The Rain Dance", where a tribe would get together to perform a ritual dance in the hope that the rain would be summoned to end the dry season. When the rain would then arrive, the same tribe would perform a second ritual to thank the gods for the rain.
The first part of the tune is a representation of the sparse, dry land, pre-ritual. The second part is where the people come together to perform the Rain Dance. The third part is where the downpour begins and the celebrations start. Musically, all hell breaks loose!
I am using some unusual techniques on the guitar to try to emulate the sounds of rain and the African plains, with obvious influence taken from traditional West African music.
This tune is dedicated to the Griots of West Africa and to my brothers in music in HAIKU.

My favourite. This and Marrakech. Such a joy to watch you live. Thank you for sharing your talent and music with us.
Thanks Faye !!!
Awesome!
thanks buddy - see you in May!
This is just, amazing. On so many levels. Polyrhytmic, sound world of many cultures and the mystique. Not to mention the technique and the complexity of the composition.
Been spending on-off a year of practice on this. Slow and steady..
Thanks Patrik - if I can help you with it just let me know
Every note is like a falling drop of rain
That’s the idea!
Absolutely beautiful !!!!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it

Finally on RUclips! I have waited to hear it again. This and Marrakech are my favorites. Have you considered a coop with a Kora player?
Wow, you saw this quickly Paul! Thanks so much, they are probably my two favourites to play live. Yes I would love to do that, writing and playing West African music is such an amazing feeling. You might have seen on my Instagram my "Koratar"? I taped a left-handed guitar and a right-handed guitar back to back and I play them Kora style
@@ShaneHennessyMusic Thanks, I'll certainly check that out. Maybe a little off topic, but have you tried the Passerelle? I think Kaki King designed it. It turns your guitar into a Japanese Koto like instrument with twelve open strings. If placed at the 16th fret the right part will be a fifth above the left. Other intervals can be obtained as well.
it's a cool sound alright, something i hope to play with soon
JUST BOUGHT THE TAB!
Wochenend Kid good on you! Post your cover when you learn it!
