Drumming and Dance

Marimba Pacifica brings you lively dance music based on the rich drumming traditions of Cuban Mambo and Rhumba, African high-life, Afro-Carribean Calypso, World-Beat Reggae, Zimbabwe trance patterns and Jazz. The syncopated polyrhythms awaken the body, expressive of vitality and the love for life!
Check out these music samples and this video clip of an African drumming procession with djembe drummers and bell players.

The percussive marimbas, from the giant grooving bass marimba to the wooden alto marimba and metal vibraphone, provide bright melodies and solos, as well as drum-like rhythms and complex jazz harmonies.
