Sur le second morceau, intitulé Chemirocha, voir ce qui suit, repris sur Porch of the Mystics :
"In the village of Kapkatet, Kenya in the early 1950′s, members of the
Kipsigi tribe somehow came across a few 78 records of Jimmie Rodgers’
Blue Yodels. Convinced that such strange sounds could not come from a
human, the voice was attributed to a centaur-like spirit they called
Chemirocha. This half-man half-antelope is honored in fertility rites
where young Kipsigi maidens dance seductively to the Jimmie Rodgers records, begging him to join them in a leaping dance in hopes that Chemirocha will jump completely out of his clothes.
The Kipsigi villagers also sing various songs to celebrate
Chemirocha. One of the only recorded instances of these hymns is this
gorgeous, haunting version played on a pentatonic wishbone lyre and
accompanied by a pair of Kipsigis girls."
Jimmie Rodgers
