I first heard this group at the Seattle Folklife Festival when I was a kid. My parents bought a copy and listened to it often. It is a fabulous collection of marimba music. Every song is a gem. The tropical sound and my memories of Folklife always reminds me of summer when I listen to it. And if you like to do the limbo, track 3, "Caderas" is perfect accompaniment. It's also lots of fun to try and match the cartoon people on the front cover with the photograph of the ensemble members on the back cover!

3.0 out of 5 stars It's ok, but..., July 25, 2010

...it's average. There is far better out there. Nice effort, not leveling any great criticism on this, just be aware this is not by any means the top of the music genre, that is, Zimbabwean based marimba bands i.e. Dumi inspired. The late great Dumi had one true great band, his first, Dumi and The Minanzi Marimba Ensemble.
