A Lunch Hour Session Of Marimba

Marimba has a very cool, unique sound but both bands which were mostly made of students found a way to own the entire session. Bot River as visitors from the Western Cape played some of the songs, which seemed very challenging. One of the amazing things about this group is they were almost always learning new songs. The audience though seated most of the time was cheerful when the music started playing.

Marimba music is upbeat and blissful, but the young band found a way to strike emotion out of the xylophone-like instrument. With a wooden tone the audience was enchanted with a sound similar to steel drums but with African reverberation.
