The Berimbau

A topic very close to my heart. I love musical instruments. I love exploring them, buying them, researching them and of course playing them. Thanks to many generous souls out there, Ive managed to raise over AUD3,700 which is simply amazing. A good chunk of that I´ve already put towards a whole range of simple instruments. The school is really starting to buzz with musical instruments – its an amazing feeling.

Below is a video about getting 24 Berimbaus for the school – and some background information on the berimbau. Its an amazing instrument, one I am very much in love with. Enjoy.
