In the tracks of the marimba

https://www.concertgebouw.be/en/talike-gelle

Marimba player Adilia Yip seeks new perspectives on her own instrument, which was only born in 1910, in her research into the West African balafon tradition. To do so, she spoke with players on the spot and made recordings, which shed a unique light on the polyrhythmic world of this percussion, in which body language and movement play a decisive role. During her lecture, she will introduce you and show how her research has influenced her view of the marimba.
