Violin

Bye.

Vocals by Sudan Archives and Violin and Kamasi Washington on, of course, the tenor saxophone.

And as I understand it, this song draws on the musical traditions of Sudan.

Is that why you had Sudan Archives? Right.

I've always

been curious about violin players, especially the way, and folks, I will encourage you all to go to the socials to find Maremo Violin on the socials to watch how you play.

There are players who play with their body.

They're not just up in the arms.

I guess you began as a pianist, right? Like at the age of four or something.

Violin was my first instrument and piano shortly thereafter.

My mom's a piano teacher.

I think we just wanted it to be interesting.

Sawmill burns down.

Violin's getting smashed.

I mean, it's all happening.
