ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Masanga Marimba is a high-energy ensemble that combines Latin and African traditions to create an upbeat, danceable sound. Families will be invited to dance, sing, and even play along with this creative group of marimba virtuosos!
The instruments used in this ensemble consist of seven Zimbabwean marimbas of various sizes along with vocals, drums, percussion, saxophone, and trumpet. Masanga Marimba formed is led by Dr. Ric Alviso, a Cal State Northridge ethnomusicologist, professor of World Music, and the director of the CSUN African Music Ensemble. They have performed at the Hollywood Bowl, Grand Performances, Madrid Theater, and the John Anson Ford Amphitheatre as well as for the inauguration of Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa.
