Marimbas were first made
In africa and latin america.
They hit the wood blocks
With the mallets,
And those tubes underneath
Help make that cool sound.
Marimba
Is a percussion instrument.
A drum is another kind
Of percussion instrument,
Like the one I have here.
You hit it.
That's how it makes sound.
Magnifico.
I wonder if they'd let me play
My steel drum with them?
We'd make a great trio.
