I went to Washington, D.C. to visit my best friend and met Manatho Shumba Masani in the Eastern Market. As soon as he started playing I knew I wanted to film him and make a video. The sounds of the thumb piano are soothing and simply make you feel relaxed and happy. Manatho has no problem playing for anyone and loves to share his happy tunes for anyone who wants to hear. By making a video I can multiply the amount of people that hear him play (assuming I get a lot of views.)
He's owned the thumb piano he is playing for 25 years and says it is "the oldest piano in the world." All the pictures and video were taken with my iPhone 4S. I edited the video on my way back from DC in the Megabus. I guess it was my own way of not doing homework.
Hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed making it.
