Coffee with Pablo

Aug 29, 2022, 12:38 PM

"When I listened to the sound  I remembered an encounter I had with the musician and great friend Pabs C. Ursusson who I had met at a music course near Leipzig. After the course I visited him at his flat which was above a bookbinders he made coffee in an old Moka Pot on a gas hob and we drank , laughed shared food and great tunes. 

"It was a remarkable encounter and magic in many ways. One of the tunes we played together was the traditional tune Djursdalenpolskan or the Melancholy Polska - here it is played on the cymbalom with the sound of coffee hissing gently in the background."
