| | Marimba - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The marimba is a musical instrument in the percussion family. | | | Zimbabwean marimba based upon Shona music has also become popular in the West, which adopted the original use of these instruments to play transcriptions of mbira dzavadzimu (as well as nyunga nyunga and matepe) music. | | | As of 2006, the repertoires of United-States bands tends to have a great overlap, due to the common source of the Zimbabwean musician Dumisani Maraire, who was one of the few key people who first brought Zimbawean music to the West, coming to the University of Washington in 1968. |

| | Nancy Zeltsman: Introduction to the Marimba |
| | The marimba is primarily taught within this larger framework: "percussion." I studied piano from the age of five but switched to percussion at age 13. | | | The marimba's roots are ancient, extending to primitive peoples' instincts to strike objects that produced musical tones: not only wood, but also stone and metal slabs. | | | In some ways, you could compare the relationship of the marimba, vibraphone and xylophone to that of a cello, viola and violin. |

| | The arrangements are filled with the tasteful and virtuosi solos of vibraphone, marimba, piano, and bass guitar, diverse and, often, contrasting interplay between these instruments, the frequent changes of tempo and mood, complex time signatures, etc. And all of this is accompanied by truly masterful drumming. | | | The arrangements, however, consist mostly of interplay between solos of marimba and bass guitar, while the ARP synthesizer, which is rich in sounds of string instruments, was used here just once. | | | Apart from Hermetic Science's typical interplay between solos of vibraphone, marimba, and bass, the arrangements of "Barbarians At the Gate" and "Hope Against Hope" (tracks 3 & 4) are also marked with the joint, powerful and heavy "attacks" of fuzzed bass guitar riffs, aggressive solos of vibraphone, and thunderous drumming. |
