instruments.It first apears in 551 BC during the Zhou Dynasty (1111 to 222 BC.)
Also the rare African thumb piano samsula similar to kalimba and the exotic
instruments from Indonesia the Gamelan (bonang, saron, kenong.)
The fujara, a large folk shepherd's fipple flute of unique design, originating from

Title:
Inner Thoughts |
|
|
 Fascinating KZN debut by Spanish Composer Rodrigo Rodriguez,
Rodriguez's music straddles several idioms.
The improvisational of composition impulse comes from New Age,
the sound colours from Classical and world folklore.
The enveloping texture and hypnotic quality would now
be characterised as "ambient" or "Classical Contemporary".
This album consists in mix of the East and the West in one only
music used traditional asian and western instruments.
