About This Track
The inspiration for Ludovico Einaudi’s whole piece, “I Giorni”, was a 12th-century folk song from Mali about a hippopotamus who was cherished by the residents of a nearby village but killed by a hunter. In his liner notes, Einaudi wrote that “The song is sung as a lament for the death of a king or a great person or for the loss of a loved one.”
Of course, he was referring to the entirity of the piece, but the meaning does apply to the beautiful, synonymous movement and heart of the work.

Why is this not immensely popular? It is mesmerizing. There are so many classical pieces like this which need airtime.

We used several different pieces of this song in my wedding. The final, ecstatic bit was even used as the recessional. Yeah, it was pretty much amazing.
