Kra Brekkan - 2008 - covers Chemirocha on East Village Radio in NYC

Stuart Rogers - Kría Brekkan performs djonní on EVR’s All Over The Shop. The song, with it’s amended name is a cover of Chemirocha, a tribute to America’s Blue Yodeler, Jimmie Rodgers. Jimmie is alleged to be worshiped by the Kipsigi tribe of East Africa, who heard his singing on old some old 78’s. He soon became known to them as “Chemirocha“ and is considered to be a centaur-like spirit, half man and half antelope, and young Kipsigi maidens are alleged to dance their most seductive dances and beg him to join them. Kristin Anna first heard the song on a cassette mix her friend Michael Klausman made for her husband, Avey Tare.
