Sometimes I can’t, just can’t boil everything I need to say down to 500 characters. For this reason, I had to publish the new instrument collection series post to my other account again:

№ 17 of my instrument collection series has some small percussion to offer.

Let’s start in the foreground with the hand cymbals. On the left, those are Tibetan tingsha, in the middle, Indian manjeewera (or manjeera), and on the right, those are Indian taal.

Now the two instruments in the background, from right to left: Also from India comes the gopichand, or ektara (literally “one string”) that you can hear in the audio track, and the güiro is one of the essential percussion instruments in Latin American music. I added a public domain sound sample of it from Wikipedia to the audio track.

It’s a very “quick’n’dirty” rough recording, something like this wouldn’t make it into an actual song, but I hope it’ll suffice for this purpose.

Since I didn't post one yesterday, it's a double #music #share today:
1. This is Gari Chale Na by Dohar; a #band that specialises in the traditions of #Bangladesh 🇧🇩 and West Bengal, #India 🇮🇳. The lyrics were written by Shah Abdul Karim (1916-2009); a Baul #singer and #player of the #ektara, and a prolific #composer. He wrote over 1600 songs! The Baul are #Bengali itinerant singers of religious songs, primarily #Sufism, #Vaishnavism and #Tantrism, but often combine elements of these.

2. This is Ya Sîdi by Orange Blossom; a band that combines #WorldMusic and electronic music from #France 🇫🇷. As you may have figured from the title, the lyrics are in #Arabic.

Bonus: OK, so since I'm quite vibing with the French stuff. Here's Orgasmocracy by Speed Caravan; an #instrumental fusing #rock, #folktronica and #malouf.
