Maciek Hrybowicz – Kanikani Kiwi (2020)

If you have ever watched a nature documentary about the Kiwi bird, ‘Kanikani Kiwi’ by Maciek Hrybowicz is a perfect soundtrack. The instrumental track offers a jazzy soundscape that mimics the jumping and dancing of the bird. The sunny and playful vibe of the music will fill you with good vibes and leave a smile on your face as you take on the rest of the day.

Providing you with his impression of New Zealand and its natural beauty, Hrybowicz lets his jazz background shine through. After having this tune in his head for a long time, he has finally put it down and sharing it with the world.



‘Kanikani Kiwi’ starts with a funky tone that grips you tight and gets you moving. The staccato beat of the track has you bouncing to it while the jazzy tones filter through the back. The drum has this steady pace that gives you solid ground for the instruments to bounce off. If you have ever seen a documentary about Kiwi birds, the lively dancing and jumping perfectly matches the music in the first part of the track.

There is a swing in the music as the lively funky tones drop for a more guitar-driven jazz fest. This is wonderful to listen to and just slides easily across your senses. Lurking in the lower levels of the music at this time are those funky beats that are just waiting to burst out again. There is a good vibe to this song that just makes you feel happy and lively.



The accompanying music video is as much fun to watch as the music is to listen to. Relatively simple, it captures the playfulness of the music. The video shows Hrybowicz in a fictitious room with a drawing of a Kiwi. The movement of the room, bird and lights match the jaunty pace of the music and you just have a lot of fun watching it.

Maciek Hrybowicz has you bouncing to the funky staccato tones of ‘Kanikani Kiwi’. The instrumental track has a bouncy vibe full of lively and playful energy that you can’t help but get drawn into. The accompanying music video is as much fun to watch as it captures the essence of the beat.
