Petronio Festival
Last week there was a festival here in Cali celebrating the music from the Pacific coast. Apparently there are a lot of different varieties but the night I went there were two different varieties that were played. One, that I don't remember the name of, had violins and reminded me a bit of folk music from the US. The other one, Marimba, I really really liked. It uses an instrument that looks like a xylophone and sounds like metal drums but is made out of palm wood. I haven't taken my point and shoot camera out yet, much less my DSLR. I want to get to know the city a bit first before I bring either of them anywhere. So unfortunately I don't have any pictures or videos from the night. However, I found the following video from the night I went on YouTube. Its incredibly long but just skip around a bit to see what marimba sounds like. Its fantastic!
