Video: Ebrahim Covers Bob Marley, The Fugees, and The Roots

I've seen clips of people arranging music, sampling it, looping it, and putting it all together in one vid (Dwele's being one of my favorites) – and I think this one by Vancouver's Ebrahim deserves some shine. This vid is a few months old, but I just got put on to it this past weekend. Watch as Ebrahim covers Bob Marley, The Fugees, and The Roots with a mic, a sampler, a keyboard and a stool.

    I LOVE YOUR MUSIC..YOUR SONG, YOUR SMILE,YOUR VOICE..!!its magic!

  14. avatar Kimeon

    Eeb is not only a force to be reckoned with musically he’s also a down to earth person. I don’t know many musicians that have his level of exposure that still sign posters and CD’s and post thank you’s to their fan’s Myspace walls and facebook pages. He’s super cool and needs more attention from sites like Okayplayer. He’s pure Genius.

  15. avatar Kimeon

    Oh, and go buy Goldrush from eebmusic.com

  16. avatar ess_

  18. avatar Richie McFly

    I dare anybody not to feel this

  19. avatar NebulaNabila

    Ebrahim is a musical genius!!! A literal one man band!! mA

    In this day in age where music has deteriorated due to the industry’s flood of over-digitized, diluted vocals, truly talented musicians like Ebrahim illuminate the scene like a star beaming in the darkest of nights.

    Keep doing what you’re doing akhi!

  50. avatar Harry Prasetyo

    He’s such an inspiration for me for a while now (since the last Israeli-Palesinian conflict in Gaza in Dec 2008). Seeing him in the zone is akin to seeing a pro skateboarder in his/her favorite ramp, street, bowl, or park. Just cruisin’ and always looking for new and challenging stuff. No sweat! Surf’s up, dude!

  51. avatar Dj Sky

    i really did not believe i hadnt heard of Ebrahim before…….minute i heard this i hit up his youtube, myspace and got his album…..best thing i did this year……..

    YES it is “THAT” good people……

  63. avatar Big V

    My buddy just added one of Ebrahim’s songs to his myspace so i checked it out and was stuck. Ebrahim is just something else, his music is nothing less than mesmerizing. This video further proves it. He’s got mad talent, he deserves every bit of recognition he gets and then some.

  64. avatar lizsofresh

    He just has so much soul and passion. This was the first i saw of him on youtube a few months ago. And I can’t wait to see what comes out next.
