What does a marimba band sound like?

AFRICIAN MARIMBA BOOKS
Pieces in these books are arranged for seven diatonic marimbas in the keys of C and G, and can be played on any of the Shona style marimbas that have taken this country by storm. I learned the pieces from various teachers at festivals and in workshops. The first two in the series contain traditional and contemporary African pieces taught by Zimbabwean, Paul Mataruse, with whom many of us who are interested in Zimbabwean music have studied. In addition to the Zimbabwean-style marimba groups, school and college marimba ensembles will find the pieces interesting, challenging, and appropriate. The pieces are written in standard music notation and have (usually) seven parts.

The OKAPI,
our namesake, is a very decorative endangered relative of the
Giraffe with a 14 inch long, blue tongue! Only 150 animals are
thought to live in the wild in the equatorial rain forests of
Zaire, Africa. |
 There’s little more fun than an African music concert or dance party as you see from this photo of the some scarey marimba friends on HALLOWEEN, 2001. |
