Johan Hansén-Larson: Kopano

If you haven’t noticed yet, Johan Hansén-Larson is a guy you need to keep an eye on. In his newest video, Johan shares a new original called “Kopano,” inspired by a recent trip to Botswana and South Africa.

The composition includes three parts for guitar (which he also covers), but the focus is really in the bass as it takes the melody at the 30 second mark and a monster solo around the two minute mark. Equally catchy and impressive, this song has it all.

In his time with No Treble, Kevin has met hundreds of amazing bassists and interviewed icons like Jack Casady, Victor Wooten, Les Claypool, Marcus Miller, and more. He's a gigging bassist performing jazz in Northern Virginia and bluegrass with The Plate Scrapers up and down the East Coast. Kevin appreciates all genres of music, from R&B to metal and everything in between. Connect with Kevin on Facebook and check his performance schedule on his website.
