JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind Kalimba Sheet Music

Have you watched all the seasons of the JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure anime and especially love Giorno’s theme song from Part 5, called Golden Wind (also known as Il Vento d’Oro)? If so, read this article carefully, because you’ll learn how to play this melody on your 17-tine kalimba using the sheet music and tablature we’re providing for free.

Let’s jump right in with JoJo’s sheet music.

First, apply this special tuning to your kalimba

Unfortunately, the theme song from Golden Wind cannot be played without first applying a very specific tuning. If your instrument is currently tuned to C major, as most thumb pianos currently sold on the market are, you will not be able to play this piece. Therefore, you will need to change the notes on the kalimba by strictly following the diagram below:

Not sure how to do this? It’s very simple, and everything is explained in detail in our tutorial on how to tune a kalimba correctly. Once you’ve read this short article, you’ll be able to apply all kinds of tunings to your instrument.

Next, JoJo’s music tablature is not for beginners. You’ll need to understand a few basic music-theory concepts, such as ties and augmentation dots. We recommend consulting our guide to reading sheet music and tablature for the thumb piano. Once you’ve got the basics down, these music sheets won’t feel mysterious anymore, and you’ll be able to tackle the full range of pieces you come across later on.

Choose a score with letters to play the song from JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure

Although there is ultimately no fundamental difference between a kalimba sheet music with letters and numbers, some musicians prefer a lettered version because they’re used to that system. Therefore, you will find it right here.

Consider a kalimba tablature for Golden Wind

More precise and effective than a score with numbers or letters, the kalimba tablature will help you deliver a polished performance of JoJo’s Golden Wind. You will need to understand several music-notation symbols, though.

What is JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure?

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure is a manga series for adult readers by Japanese artist Hirohiko Araki. It was first published in 1986 and is still ongoing, with new chapters released regularly. The manga was later adapted into an animated series in 2012 and split into multiple parts. The anime is also still in production, following Araki’s continued storyline. Its popularity is huge: it’s among the 20 best-selling manga series in the world, with over 120 million volumes sold.

The story of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure follows the adventures of the Joestar family across several generations. As a result, it’s difficult to summarise the series as a whole: plots, time periods, and characters vary widely from one part to the next, ranging from a heroic tale set in the 19th century to a modern-day crime story, as well as drama on the eve of World War II. Each part has its own world and atmosphere, with the main link being one or more members of the Joestar family taking centre stage. Another shared element is that the protagonists have supernatural powers, whether that’s extreme physical strength, the ability to stop time for a few seconds, or controlling fire and flames.

Where does the song Golden Wind come from?

The melody featured in the kalimba sheet music you’ve discovered in this article comes from Part 5 of the JoJo anime, called Golden Wind. The track is actually titled "Il Vento d’Oro," meaning "the golden wind" in Italian. This song was composed by Yugo Kanno, a Japanese artist born on 5 June 1977, who mainly works on anime, Japanese dramas, and video games.

In the Golden Wind arc, the story takes place in Naples in 2001 and follows the journey of Giorno Giovanna, a descendant of the Joestar family, who aims to become the head of the local mafia in order to put an end to the drug trafficking that plagues the city. He faces Diavolo, the leader of a group called "Passione," whom he attempts to overthrow. The track “Il Vento d’Oro,” which often plays during Giorno’s scenes, is widely seen as his musical theme.

Honour JoJo by playing Giorno’s theme on a high-quality kalimba

If there is one song that stands out in the entire JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure anime, it’s Giorno’s theme in Part 5, Golden Wind. With its catchy rhythm and memorable melody, it’s easy to see why you’d want to play it on your 17-key kalimba. Thanks to the sheet music and tablature you’ve seen here, all you have to do now is take the time to study this piece so you can play it.

However, the kalimba is a rather intimate instrument that doesn’t project a lot of volume. That can be frustrating if you want to be heard by several people at once. To solve this problem, Instruments du Monde offers a high-quality electric, battery-powered kalimba model that lets you plug the instrument directly into a portable speaker to boost its volume. It’s the perfect pick for playing Il Vento d’Oro in front of an audience!
