He's toured/recorded with many artists like Gloria Estefan, John Secada, Grover Washington Jr., Cyndi Lauper, etc.... Google Bakhiti Kumalo, and you will get some hits that will better lead you to where you can find his music. He is definitely one of my favorites. If you go to Bassplayer.tv you can see his clinc from last years Bass Player Live event.
Edit..... I just watched the video you linked, and that is not Bakhiti playing with Paul.

| Yeah, that's Armand Sabal-Lecco, who is a super talented cat in his own right and has played with some very big names including Jeff Beck and Stanley Clarke. But only Bakithi sounds like Bakithi.

I had the opportunity to speak with him on the phone a few times when I worked at Bass Central, he is a very nice guy as well.

Obviously I am not ever going to sound like BK but since you guys seem well-informed - what is he using on "graceland" and "boy in the bubble"? Is it a chorus pedal or an octaver of some kind? I have a fretless but I can't even come close to his tone. |
