Kría Brekkan covers Chemirocha on East Village Radio in NYC
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.
Kría first heard the song on a cassette mix her friend Michael Klausman made
for her husband, Avey Tare.
