I love the trilled growl the young guy makes at the beginning!

[@catloaf.2]

And I hate how he looks around for approval and nobody hypes him up 😔

[@skonenblades]

@@catloaf.2 Yeah I was like "Was that scripted? It looked like he just busted out with a BRRRRRRAH and no one backed him up so he just backed up the truck." I hope it was scripted. I'd feel bad if he for real got left hanging.

The music these 6 fellows create as a team is some of the most unique I’ve ever heard.

[@jedhawkins1769]

That's awesome! Sounds like electronic music being played by hand, making it more eclectic than technological.

[@jedinightstalker]

I agree. It's funny how people are trying to create the same things with new ways. The computer has been integrated into almost every art form. People will forget the old ways and have to relearn them later on for what ever reason.

[@jacquesuntel5401]

Used to live in Zimbabwe in the 90s. Am glad young people are still learning and playing traditional instruments. Note that the African marimba keys aren't laid out the same as western versions of the instrument - no "black keys" (sharps/flats). Also note their style is to play with only one baton per hand, whereas westerns use two, to play chords.

[@alexsterckel2511]

Yes and no. We do have the marimbas with the piano layout. However, we don't always play with two batons per hand. It really depends on the song if you're playing with two or one per hand. In my school it is very unusual to play with two batons per hand.

[@fitawrarifitness6842]

@@alexsterckel2511 also it's different if one person is playing all the parts.

The Rythm is above I love the set up. ..... simple, very simple The combination is in another level The outcome left me dancing

[@DonDezz]

One of the thing that makes this type of Marimbas stand out is that, unbeknown to most people these instruments have a spiritual undertone to them for traditionally they used to be played at spiritual ceremonies including the mbiras as well. That's why they have great hearty soothing and magical sound to them. Also note that these Marimbas they have a special select wood that they are made of that's why they sound different from the western version of marimbas.
