Jacob Collier - Dun Dun Ba Ba (Interlude) Lyrics

Wakanda vibes

1:32 Woah, the claps are the same rhythm as the cowbell in Hideaway, but in a different time signature

Afro Cuban Bembe!

Unique , an all time legend !! https://youtu.be/pEnHf0xtHVs

FYI according to Google translate "dun dun ba ba mo di fwe" means "I'm very happy" in Yoruba, one of West Africa's most dominant non-European or Arabic languages


Incredible song as always, Jacob.

*Follow da mountain*

This voice sounds 100 times better that your normal singing voice.
Please just always do this to your voice from now on, I never wanna hear your real voice ever again in your songs xD

I love the rest of this album but for some reason I hate this song with a burning passion

Anyone know if dun dun ba ba mo di fwe means anything in any tongue?

Andy After putting it into google translate, it recognized it as “Yoruba” and said, “I am very happy.” I’m not sure if that’s right though.

Jacob is a strong and independient wamen.

This dude is phase shifting polyrhythms within polyrhythms!! Bonkers...

Amazing 🎶🎶🎶

Is it you Jacob ? Especially the higher voice .... Strange ... Using a voice transformer (processor)? Nice

Electronic Angels he slows the vocal file down then speeds it up again I think

Does anyone else recognise this rhythmic concept from the 'clap / stamp' audience participation from the Djesse Vol 1 tour ?
I loved it then. And I this!
Great work as ever, Jacob 😘

Fav... or Do you feel love

I have a new ringtone!!!

Floyd Escala ako rin haha

Yooo I’m in love

holy shit , i had no idea this was in english

Omgg so coollll

I need June Lee to transcribe the rhythm's in this..

It's already been

JC.. u genius..

Jacob keeps droping this gems like it's nothing. 😁

THAT is wonderful! love those sounds! Thanks Jacob!

What language is this?

English believe it or not

English and Spanish.

Baila con el ritmo que nunca para de acelerar.

Dance with the rhythm that never stops accelerating.

That polyrhythm tho

Ah a shepard groove! I tried to make a shepard groove a couple years ago, it didn't sound good. Good thing we have Jacob to do it right lol

@Keith Penguin read description

I didn’t read the description, I must be losing my marbles. After looking into this though, he should have called it a Risset Groove (after the Risset Rhythm that this is an example of), but I guess that doesn’t conjure up the same ethno-rustic folk vibes as the ‘shepherd’ allusion 👍🏿

@Keith Penguin the Shepard tone is named after Roger Shepard, it's not a pastoral allusion. Agreed that Risset already did something like this, although the execution here is different to Risset's approach, it appears.

Abraham Frandsen You’ve misunderstood my point. I know what the Shepard scale is. I’m suggesting Jacob preferred to call this a ‘Shepard Groove’ rather than a ‘Risset Groove’ because of the poetic allusion to sitting around a campfire after sunset making music after a hard day tending to the goats, which other aspects of this track also conjure up (the crackling fire and generally rustic sound design , the choice of musicians, the African folk melody thing). ‘Risset Groove’ isn’t as picturesque, it sounds more scientific. But from my investigation into the Risset Rhythm this track features an exactly similar device. He even mentions it in the description (half speed at the same time).

@Keith Penguin Ah, I suppose it's possible that's what was in Jacob's mind...

Kerennn sekali brother

I like this a lot. Doesn't sound at all like the beatles, hehe

Baila con el ritmo que nunca para de acelerar

JAJAJAJAJA no se porque me dio mucha risa xdd

This is amazing!

Groove-y!!!

Excellent sound and visual experience. It is an extra musical sensation, it is felt in the organic and essential of the human. Being human, it is like this, images and constant rhythm (fast, slow, etc.) Congratulations !!

Oh my god I can’t believe this is you singing 😱

😘😘😘

This is absolute FIRE. 0:48 - כוסעמק

Name that polyrhythm

The amount of logic session crashes during djesse should top the entire earth's population

okay good joke but why on this one?? This is probably the song with the fewest tracks of anything on Djesse so far (other than Time To Rest Your Weary Head)

@Andy Chamberlain Music because he just thought of it while listening to this one?

So magical jacob💛
