African Soundscapes

Composer Name
Jonathan Kafumbe
Description

This composition was based on a traditional African melody I heard my father play on the marimba. I was also inspired by the chord changes and melody to the song Impressions by John Coltrane. I combined both melodies with the chord changes to Impressions to create a colorful unique song with a groovy rhythm. Later in the song, the chords shift and change to outline the melody better.
