World Percussion Night!!
JOY JOY JOY!!!!
Ahhhhh, I love World Perc Night!!!!!
First off was the Kusuma Sari Balinese Gamelan, and the music was beautiful. I love how eerie it sounds, and just looking at the beautifully gilded and enameled gongs and instruments, and imagining what their original settings must have been...
Next up was a Korean Drum dance, which was absolutely beautiful. There were 7 dancers each assigned to a drum hanging on an ornate stand. They danced as they were drumming, and the movement with the rhythm was just amazing!! They were accompanied by 3 other seated drummers using gorgeously turned wooden drums. ahhhh eye candy!
Then there was Cuban bongo drumming during the intermission which was followed by the:
AFRO-CARIBBEAN ENSEMBLE!
They did a fabulous job- the sheer joy from the dancers was overpowering. I left the concert with uplifted spirits and a huge smile on my face. ^_^
Congratulations to everyone who danced and played tonight- Kimmy, Rob, and Jeff to name a few...WOOHOO!!!!
ah, I feel so good!!

Random crap and insight into the mind of me
This blog is in Oregon (Pacific Coast) time. So during the school year add 3 hours for the time I actually posted it. In summer, who knows.
