BLK JKS - MOLALATADI from Jamie-James Medina on Vimeo.
Great new video from the South African indie band BLK JKS. I want to see these guys live really bad, I bet this stuff hits super hard in person. The rhythms are heavy duty on this song, alot of polyrhythms. I will attempt to explain what's going on for all the music nerds out there. Immediately you can feel that there is 6 beat cycle, or 2 groups of 3, over a four beat pulse. But there is also a triplet feel on each beat of the 4 beat pulse. What is really going on here is a 12 beat cycle, with two pulses going on at once: one every other beat, and one every 3 beats.
fiyaaahhh.
