I've been obsessed with learning to play marimba the last few weeks, after finding my way to a fun group called Jamba Marimba. As I try to make my hands do what my brain and ear tell them to do, while trying to match the songs with names like Chemwanyera, Nyungwe, and Siyakudumisa, I'm giving my head a real workout. So, dear readers, I've not spent as much time as usual writing. My debut with the band will be at the Nights in White Salmon Art and Wine Fusion. And I'm getting nervous, so I will be practicing a LOT in the next week or so.
One of my marimba friends sent this amazing video performance by an a Slovenian capella jazz choir called Perpetuum Jazzile. The first few minutes are astounding.
