Who is jazz singer songwriter r'kardo?
r'kardo is a kind of neo soul jazz singer songwriter from New York....I think originally from Trinidad or Jamaica. I've seen him at Ashford & Simpson's Sugar Bar more than once, and he is really good, like a more funky sounding Will Downing....but he obviously added reggae and calypso influences in his set and had an incredible guy on steelpan ....but the set had too many covers I think even though he did them justice and made it sound fresh. His original material was really good and this is one CD I woudl buy when it came out. He does a cover of Alanis Morrisette;s 'Uninvited' that is amazing with the steelpan.
What african-sounding instrument looks like two woks put together and sounds like a steel drum?
It is called a "Hang," but pronounced quite differently than you'd think.Refer to:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_HangA Hang (pronounced [haŋ], with vowel sound between those of the words hot and hungry) is a musical instrument in the idiophone class created by PANArt in Switzerland. The Hang is made from two deep drawn, nitrided steel sheets[2] that are attached together creating the recognizable 'UFO shape'. There is nothing inside the Hang but air. The top ("Ding") side has a center 'note' hammered into it with seven or eight 'tone fields' hammered around it. The bottom ("Gu") is a simpler surface that has a rolled hole in the center with a tuned note that can be created when the rim is struck.The Hang uses some of the same physical principles as a steelpan but with a nitrided surface and structural change of having two clamped shells with a small opening so that the instrument is a Helmholtz resonator.[1][3] The creation of the Hang was the result of many years of research on the steelpan as well as the study of a diverse collection of instruments from around the world such as gongs, gamelan, ghatam, drums and bells.[4] Metallurgical and acoustic research by the makers has led to significant changes and refinement in structure, design, and process over the years since the first Hang was offered.The Hang is sometimes referred to as a hang drum. The 'drum' label, however, is discouraged by PANArt: "Treating it as a drum and promoting the name Hang Drum, for instance, has created a ripple effect of misinformation that leads to damaged Hang, physical injury, and mental and emotional turbulence."
