“Marimba
The marimba is a musical instrument in the percussion family. Keys or bars (usually made of wood) are struck with mallets to produce musical tones. The keys are arranged as those of a piano, with the accidentals raised vertically and overlapping the natural keys (similar to a piano) to aid the performer both visually and physically.
Marimbas originated in Africa hundreds of years ago and were imported to Central America in the sixteenth century.
Some notable Marimba players
• Keiko Abe
• Vida Chenoweth
• Rebecca Kite
• Ruth Underwood”
