I thought all hipsters played Ultima and therefore knew what a fucking lute was.

You don’t even know what a lute is, do you?

Well whatever that thing is, that fellow has been coming to that corner to entertain passers-by for months.

That is a West African kora, not a lute. The pants appear to be made of Kente pattern, again from West Africa.

That’s not a lute, and it’s not even medieval – it’s a type of African harp.

That looks like a west African kora. Def not a lute

I don’t know about the music, but those pants sure put the starch in my wimple.
