So I was was sitting a computer today running Windows 7 and decided to listen to the sample songs on Windows Media Player. The first one I selected was called "Kalimba", which was odd because I didn't hear anything that sounded like a kalimba in its orchestration. At least, I didn't at first. I sat in anticipation of hearing the chime of the African thumb piano for about two minutes of repetition until, undoubtedly, the little instrument saw its introduction. A minute later the strings came in but then dropped out shortly after. Upon their return after about another minute's time, what I heard brought about some excitement for me having read this post, listened to the music in the Youtube video, and been totally stumped. Alas, the notes were deceiving. This Mr. Scruff herein composed a few measures that sounded like your tune, mate, but ended rather differently.
Anyone else have a clue?
