Learn more about marimba

The marimba is a musical instrument classified as a percussion instrument and is similar to a xylophone. It consists of wooden bars arranged like a keyboard, which are struck with mallets to produce rich, resonant tones. Beneath the bars are resonator tubes that amplify the sound, giving the marimba its warm, mellow quality. Originating from African and Central American musical traditions, particularly in Guatemala and Mexico, the marimba has become popular in orchestras, ensembles, and solo performances worldwide. It requires both technical skill and musicality to play, as performers use multiple mallets to create complex melodies and harmonies. The marimba is celebrated for its expressive range and versatility across genres.
