This blog is dedicated to the sublime instruments called nose flutes and which produce the most divine sound ever. We have chosen to discard all the native models from S. Pacific and Asia, for they need fingering to be played. We'll concentrate on "buccal cavity driven" nose flutes : the well patented and trademarked metal or plastic ones, plus, by a condemnable indulgence, some wooden craft or home-made productions.

Ohrbooten : Nose Flute Hip Hop!

Ohrbooten ("earboot") is a famous Hip hop/Ragga german band from Berlin. Since 2005, they have released 3 albums plus many singles. The lead singer, Ben Pavlidis, is also a nose flute player, and his style is in accordance with Ohrbooten music : cool, jerky and energetic.




Particularly in the CDs Spieltrieb and Gyp Hop, there are two songs with a nice use of the nose flute : An Alle Ladies and Superman.


An Alle Ladies
is a great hit, according to the number of live videos of this song you can find on Youtube. Here is an excerpt, cut around 1 minute for copyright reasons (but you can buy the complete mp3 title on ITunes or Amazon for cheap) :



And here are several video versions, a street one, followed by a concert one and a remix.

Here is an excerpt of Superman, cut around 1 minute for copyright reasons (but you can buy the complete mp3 title on ITunes or Amazon for cheap) :



And here is a video of Superman, from the last Ohrbooten Cd (video a bit shaky ...):
