Berimbau solo

Details

Description

Just messing around with the berimbau while testing out our new camera.

My berimbaus are modified in several ways. The"bass drum" is the gourd of the berimbau thumping against my chest. Other than that, we've added tuning mechanisms and some ways to amplify the instruments.

On the couch in the background is a bamboo rainstick that was taken out because, sadly, it needs fixing.

3/21/13 Finally made that follow up video for which I'd been asked by someone patient. A bit different, hope you'll enjoy.
