Coldplay - Paradise (Peponi) African Style (Piano/Cello) Cover - The Piano Guys ft. Alex Boye

The story behind the song:  Each time we write/arrange a tune we take a journey. We have to admit—this journey took us a lot further than we expected. Retracing our steps reveals several factors that made this a reality. As we started arranging it we had serious writer’s block. Perhaps some of the worst we’ve ever had. In fact, one day instead of writing we went around the entire studio with a can of WD-40 and coated every piece of metal to ensure that we were a squeak-free studio. Then on a whim we decided to back away and take an entirely new approach to the song—an African approach.

All the instruments you hear are REAL instruments. We wanted to be authentic about this. The following percussion instruments were used:

  • Djembe (drum)
  • Agogo bell (like a cow bell)
  • Udu (the porcelain vase-looking drum)
  • Guiro (gourd scraper)
  • Djabarra (shaker)
  • Rain stick
  • Pangi seed shaker (“goat toenails” or Unas)
