Handpan solo is a project by a Porto street musician named Sergio. I saw him playing in the streets of
Porto when I visited recently. He has
two of these handpans, which are a bit like a mix of a drum and a single tuned
gong or harp. They are limited in the
sense they are tuned to one key so you really have to be creative. He was
amazing. Wow.. I bought his CD_R for
5€. IT features 9 tracks between 4 and
12 mins in length. Some have this almost
mystic, eastern, Moroccan feeling of sorts. Beautiful music. At the end of the
CD are a couple of other tracks with acts that Sergio has played, one called
Adducantur. Check him out. I wouldn't mind have him playing on some of my next solo material or to learn how to play one of these myself!
