Today is our good friend Bakithi Kumalo’s birthday, and we’re celebrating with one of his all-time great bass lines.

Bakithi’s “Graceland Experience” is an awesome project that brings different musicians together to perform the music from Paul Simon’s Graceland.

Here’s a live clip of “You Can Call Me Al.”

Happy birthday, BK!

    I can’t add it to my watch later playlist because it’s on YouTube “for kids,” so I guess I’ll never see it
