Marimba Ensemble 

 
Dr. Ric Alviso, California State University Northridge world music professor and director of the Masanga Marimba Ensemble performs with his students at the Santa Monica Farmers Market on Sunday, July 25, 2010.

Masanga Marimba plays traditional and popular music from Latin America and Africa. The instruments used in this ensemble consist of 7 Zimbabwean marimbas of various sizes along with vocals, drums, percussion, saxophone and trumpet. The word “Masanga” comes from an African word that means the coming together of rivers or roads representing the meeting of African, Latin and American traditions in this group.
