Yo Yo Man

Marimba, feet, voice, one player

Yo Yo Man [1991] began as a transcription of ‘Xylophone Solo #1’ from a record I bought it when I was about twelve titled ‘Music and Musicians of the Angolan Border’ (Lyrichord LLST-7311).

The percussive rhythms in the track are transferred to the feet and the marimba lines are approximate versions of the original, ad lib, and I added a vocal/whistling melody.
