Zambezi

My cover of Zambezi, by Tinashe.



I think I must've stumbled across the original video/performance. I also saw it on Wimp a while later.

It's a really sweet song, but almost sad, towards the end. And this is why I like the mbira version of the song compared to the original because I feel that the original lacks the emotion found in the mbira version's simplicity. The original is great; it's powerful, upbeat, inspiring, but I just prefer the mbira track in terms of mood.

I also feel like my cover is a bit "I Will Follow You Into the Dark" in terms of strum pattern/sound...haha. Guess I was going for that folk sound.

Anyways I've got to stop recording and mixing these things at such a late hour. But the song was calling my naaaaame...! I had to.
