Here's a clip of a Linux laptop working
together with a real drummer, real conga player, and real guitar player to back up Michael
Franti's rapper, Radioactive:

Everything is improvised, including the rap, which is all freestyle.
What stood out for me is what a great entertainer this guy Radioactive is! His primary
gig is playing festivals with Spearhead, and it shows. As soon as Radioactive walked into
the room and grabbed the mic, the energy level went up instantly, like a bomb had hit it.
It was a very pronounced difference.
The keyboard and bass sounds are Fluidsynth on Linux. Everything else is analog
instruments and voice.
The clip was recorded on a Zoom H2. I remastered it in JAMIN on Linux to bring out the
vocals a bit more.
I really enjoyed that. Do you have more of the set?
