Try his song Sunny Crypt by Francis Bebey. . .what he does here reminds me of that. An absolute genius

Sometimes when I’m having a rough day, I’ll just watch this video. Always makes me smile. ❤️🎵

The way he says "I think this is interesting" I find very sweet. Like many others here I discovered Francis Bebey's music after he left us and I wish it was before

This is beautiful!! Never heard of this before. Shows that humans will create beauty out of anything.

the world is a wonder. those who educate and offer explanations of this wonderful world are amazing. so many props to this man!

This is one of the coolest things I've seen recently.

this man is a treasure and I love it.

During the explanation, i didnt really understand what he meant by speaking to the flute. But the second he started, it immediately made sense. What a great video, i appreciate you for sharing such a gem.

I could listed to his song all everyday

I never knew the guy til today, but I already miss him 😭

The Coffee Cola Song by Bebey himself is a wonderful song using this technique. The flute portion was sampled for Everything Now by Arcade Fire

Francis Bebey was a genius, I'm sad I discovered him only a few years ago. But I'm happy that he left so much music and books...

Bebey is one of the best musicians i have discovered in years

Francis bebey from cameroon was one of the greatest african musicians,he invented many instruments.and has many melodies that have been used in cartoons and movies and radio shows.he is a genius in music

Bless this cheerful soul - may he rest in music.

This gentleman is so incredibly calm and lovely to listen to.

Wow, this is amazing❤ ... he actually said the truth when he said "I'm teaching you how to do it, you should pay me".

Human and instrument synchronized by the beat of the soul. Amazing.

This is incredible! So much culture in this intrument!

Absolutely amazing!

When I’m feeling down, this video always seems to get me straight.

I love the way Bebey has the eyes to see the way the Pygmies have a conversation with their flute. This is not an obvious conclusion to draw, and needless to say one which people who dismiss the Pygmies as savages would never make.

"Savage people lives elsewhere than the forrest. They usually live in cities" This guy speaks the truth!

It's such a simple tune and causes a simple feeling - joy that's why I love it!

Such a wonderful mixture of instrument and singing, at the same time from the same source Ingenious

what an absolute legend, I wish we had more people like him, chill, light-hearted, upfront, full of love and life... beautiful video

This video is up there for me with a Somewhere Under the Rainbow recording. Just good for the heart.

This man has the kind of glowing kindness that can only come when one devoted his life to understanding

This is absolutely beautiful

This video almost perfectly encapsulates why I love Africa so much. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to spend so much of my life there. Africa is full of talented and generous people and Francis Bebey seems to be an excellent example. Lovely!

the moment you realize he's not trying to match pitch with the flute (mind kepeeeow)

Im straight groovin to that beat he was laying down. I was replaying it over and over

a big thank you Mister

I have been playing some of this tune on my tin whistle for about 30 minutes trying to figure out where i heard the melody . Finally remembered! Great stuff.

I first saw this about a decade ago and i find i still come back to this clip and the second one i come back to is Song of the mamuna tribe just rejuvenation for the soul
