Texas Community Music Festival – Kupira Marimba

IMG_1164

Rainy weather today brought the Texas Community Music Festival under the overhang and inside the rain tarps at Central Market today.  However, that didn’t stop Kupira Marimba from having a good time.  They played their sets of music from Zimbabwe and got the crowd dancing in the dimly lit patio.  I always recommend seeing this group of musicians if you can catch them around town for a fun party atmosphere and some lovely African Marimba Music.

MAPJAM – Rattletree Marimba

I wasn’t a very good MAPJAM participant today. Too much stuff going on. KUT offered up 9 great bands in 4 awesome venues, and I only caught two bands. My favorite today was Rattletree Marimba – a super fun band that “plays high energy fully acoustic music from Zimbabwe on GIANT wooden xylophones.” If you see these people in your area, be sure to check them out!
