Like the Ghostbusting actor, his public appearances are sporadic and joy-inducing. And his latest sighing is par the course. On Friday, NPR producer, Antonia Cereijido, shared an account of her recent stop at LAX, where she heard someone playing the flute in her terminal. Lo and behold, the flutist in question was none other than the OutKast rapper (see below.)
\u201cI saw a man walking around my terminal playing a flute for 40min and was losing my mind because I thought it was Andr\u00e9 3000. And then it WAS Andr\u00e9 3000!!! \ud83d\ude0d\ud83d\ude0d\ud83d\ude0d\ud83d\ude2d\ud83d\ude2d\u201d— Antonia Cereijido (@Antonia Cereijido) 1560546714
She goes on to confirm that the instrument was, in fact, a double-flute. After a little digging, Cereijido learned that the whimsical woodwind was built by Guillermo Martinez, a California-based master craftsman that specializes in Native American instruments:
\u201cI just got off the phone with Guillermo Martinez the man who made Andres's beautiful flute. It's a Mayan double flute. He and his shop are doing incredible work by keeping the music if indigenous North American communities alive. Here is his website: https://t.co/Jgb9lbGsqh\u201d— Antonia Cereijido (@Antonia Cereijido) 1560546714
Previously, sightings of the rapper had been relegated to Soho in New York City, where he reportedly lives. But, as one of rap's most enigmatic sorts, there's literally no telling where he'll pop up next.
On to the next one, I suppose.
