Marimba en Tlaquepaque, Jalisco, Mexico

Marimba en Tlaquepaque, Jalisco, Mexico


The Marimba is the huge xylophone type instrument that is often shared between several players at the same time. Usually one of the musicians has the scrapey wooden thing (Comment if you know the name, maraca?) and wanders round collecting tips. Then they carry the whole shebang somewhere else and start playing plinky plunky versions of classics like Cielito Lindo and La Bamba. *edit* Nope, they’re not maracas. Google turned up this page on how to make your own marimba though, happy hammering!

About

Hi I'm Gwyn, theses are my photos. Posting is somewhat irregular, but I hope you enjoy them and maybe want to subscribe... Till recently I was living in Guadalajara, Mexico and the vast majority of the pictures are from my travels around there. However, I've recently moved to Alameda, CA and am still finding my feet and trying to think of a way to preserve the Mexican feel in me new surroundings... If you'd like to know more about the photography here or order a higher resolution picture for printing get in touch via the contact page. Possibly of interest too: My Blog & Web Design
