FAQ & Knowledge Song “Bakumbe”

  • ℚ. What have the artists said about the song?

    From the description of the music video:
    “Sam Amidon is timeless to me – he has been one of my most favourite musicians for so many years. His album “I See The Sign” literally changed my life, and has accompanied me on some of my life’s greatest adventures. His unreal pocket, delicious sound and one-of-a-kind sense of humour made for such a brilliant afternoon of recording Bakumbe. He plays banjo and fiddle on here, as well as sings. The rockstar tune at the end was improvised on the spot.

    The first half of the melody is sung by my sister, Sophie!"

  • ℚ. What have the artists said about the song?

    From Jacob Collier’s Twitter during the Djesse listening party, celebrating the 2 year anniversary of Djesse Vol. 1:

    I tweeted MY HERO, Sam Amidon, about making some music together, and to my childhood hysteria he said “Yeeeeeeah!”. So he came over to my room and we tracked vox and banjo for this one :-) That’s my sister singing the melody with me!

  • ℚ. What does Bakumbe mean? is it a name? a made-up word?

    The origin of the word Bakumbe is thought to be made-up. To many, it is seen to be connected to the word ‘hajanga’, another made-up word, titling a song by Collier. They seem to have connections to feelings of warmth, rejoicing and hope. This is however unconfirmed.
