Get Up Ore Mi Kini Se

Inspired by the rhythms and melodies of a traditional West African Yoruba chant. This song adapts the polyrhythms of a drum ensemble to Appalachian string band instruments. Hinkle and Lucey wrote words inspired by the irresistible beat, inviting everyone to get up and dance: “Get up, boy, get up, won’t you dance with me. Stay all night, stay and let your troubles free.”
Sonically: The song begins with a simple beat as instruments layer in with interlocking rhythms. Uplifting, carefree, and impossible to sit still to. Dobro, guitar, and bass, with harmony vocals throughout.
