Plucked Exotic - Kalimba Sample pack

This pack combines the ancient sounds of kalimba now recorded for modern music. The exotic scale C neopolitan scale the Kalimba is tuned in is particularly good for trap and darker styles of music. It also features microtonal tunings that create a unique use in melodies.

The kalimba is a musical instrument developed after mbira (an African invention) and has little metal tines for plucking each note. Most importantly, it produces an inharmonic overtone series therefore its sound fundamentally differs from those of traditional instruments like strings and flutes.

The pack contains 102 samples of professionally recorded Kalimba playing. Because of its very peculiar sound, these samples will sound best in genres with a dark to ethnic vibe – Trap, hiphop, Tropical House, New Age, etc. However, these can adapt these sounds into more conventional Hip-Hop, Trap, and Emo Rap.
