I have not been absent from music endeavors lately, just absent from blogging about them!
A few weeks ago I went to a concert at the Folk Music Center to hear a duo play fusion music from Appalachia and Zimbabwe. Joti Rockwell of Pomona College played a variety of instruments from guitar to mandolin, fiddle and banjo, while his friend (whose name I don't remember) played the thumb piano (aka kalimba or mbira). They switched back and forth between music from both cultures and the effect was fabulous. I pieced together two short clips from their 90-minute concert for your listening pleasure. The first one is obviously the song from Africa.
