Juba Marimba

Juba Marimba

"If you can talk, you can sing. If you can walk you can dance." Old Zimbawean saying

Juba Marimba is a group of eight musicians from Bellingham, Washington who have taken this saying to heart. Their group plays traditional and contemporary dance music of Africa on seven marimbas of their own making. Their music is an infectious and irresistible blend of rhythm and harmony.

The Marimba

The marimba, a wooden xylophone with resonators which naturally amplify the sound, is an ancient folkloric instrument played throughout Indonesia, Africa, the Caribbean, and Latin America. Juba Marimba played the whole family of marimbas, from the bass and baritone which must be played while standing on platforms, to the more familiar tenors and sopranos, which are played standing up, or seated, respectively.
