Wonderful and freshly unorthodox. Thanks for posting.

That is a bit like Zulu and Xhosa squashbox playing, where the repeating rhythm and chords are the thing, not the melody...useful in long treks across the veld. Not my cup of tea, but interesting.

What a shame my sound system is playing up and I could not hear him playing.

Watching him however it did not look very spectacular.

Reminded me of a Folk club act that I saw once where the guitarist played two chords for about three minutes ,which got a polite round of applause and I had to refrain myself from slapping him round the face for taking the P***.

Maybe he's been studying origami?

Perhaps that's what he got third prize for.

Reminds me a little of this guy that Jody pointed out last week.
